Football Wreath Craft For Kids

Football is a great American sport that kids love. It is played in the fall and goes into winter for the playoffs.

You have a fun wreath that shows the fields and footballs around it. And it is super simple to make for the regular football season or for the Super Bowl.

The Football Wreath Craft is a great addition to the football activities and the wreath crafts on the site.

What we used to make the Football Wreath Craft

• paper plate
• football cookie cutter
• construction paper
• green shimmer dot marker
• cotton swab
• white washable paints
• watercolors – Could used in place of dot markers
• binder clips
• glue

Cutting Out the Footballs For the Wreath

We use a football cookie cutter with the template.

Cutting the Paper For the Footballs

You use the football cookie cutter to size the strips you will make to cut out the cookie cutters.

Trace the Football Shape on the Paper

You trace the football shape on the brown construction paper. Then use paper binder clips to have several pieces of the football together to cut out.

Cut out the Football

You use a set of scissors and cut out the footballs. You can see that using the binder clips lets you cut out several at the same time.

If you have older kids you could just trace five footballs on a piece of paper and have them cut out the football as well.

Football Shape Cut Out

You can see the football shapes cut out below. We got several footballs with just one time of cutting.

How we made the Football Wreath Craft

You can see the steps below that we used to make the Football wreath craft.

Dot Marker the Wreath Green

We used a green shimmer dot marker to dot marker the wreath. You can use a piece of paper under the wreath so you don’t dot marker your table.

If you don’t have dot markers you could use a gree watercolor to paint the wreath instead.

Paint White Lines on the Wreath

You can let the wreath dry a few minutes or right away do this next step. It will depend on how wet the paper plate is.

You are going to use a cotton swab and white paint to make lines across the paper plate.

You want to space the lines around the wreath to make it look like the lines on a football field. You are going to make lines all the way around the plate.

Paint the White Lines on the Football

You want to use a cotton swab again and have kids paint lines on the football.

You do one at each end of football. Then you do three lines in the middle of the football. The middle lines are smaller and only are at the top of the football.

You can see a completed football below. It can look different that this and it will be okay.

Put the Football Wreath Together

The last step is putting the football wreath together. You glue the footballs around the paper plate.

It does not matter there they are on the wreath of the directions that they go.
