Super Bowl Sunday is one of my favorite days of the year. It’s a day where we can push our Sunday Scaries aside to enjoy great company, eat copious amounts of snacks, and maybe even watch some football, or at least make bets on impending halftime show mishaps. When my roommate and I decided to host a Super Bowl party last year, I also realized that this glorious day would be a GREAT opportunity to craft. The first things I needed to know were, “Where do I buy astroturf?” and “How do I make a giant chalkboard?” Priorities. If you too find yourselves with these questions as we approach the big day, look no further than to this post (and Home Depot) for all of the answers. You’re welcome 🙂 Read on to learn how to make everything you need to host a successful(ly decorated) Super Bowl party!

GIANT CHALKBOARD

What better way to get everyone in the Super Bowl spirit than with a giant football square grid? I had to leave my comfort zone of Jo-Ann’s to acquire the materials at Home Depot, but it was well worth it. I guarantee your guests will be on board – everyone knows that diversification across grids is the key to success!

PAINTED FOOTBALL VASES

You could use the embossed lines on mason jars to measure ingredients, but they also make great guides for painting football laces. Use acrylic paint to make festive vases for your flower arrangements – hydrangeas are perfect for wide mouth mason jars. If you’re feeling really artsy, paint wooden oval cutouts as footballs for extra decoration!

GOALPOST MANTEL

Mantels are the focal point of any party… okay, maybe TVs are the focal point of Super Bowl parties. Regardless, they deserve to be decorated! Mini goalposts make great decorations that won’t block your TV, and they can be used for a game of paper football at halftime too!
