Striped Paper Straw Goal Post {Football Party}

I’ve got Football Fever and recently shared a tailgate party I put together to celebrate our home town team on Piggy Bank Parties.

Giggles Galore Game Day Tailgate Party

This simple party was planned, crafted and put together while my kids were napping (Yay for naps!)  While I was looking for a frame or a way to display the football menu a light bulb went off and I thought “wouldn’t it be cute to have the football suspended from a goal post.”

I was rummaging for something to create the goal post with and initially had bamboo skewers, but decided they didn’t have enough impact.  I found my stash of paper straws and decided they would be perfect.  To make your goal post all you need is:

  • Striped paper straws
  • Coordinating twine or ribbon
  • Foam block
  • Piggy Bank Parties football package
  • Hot glue gun
Take 3 paper straws and set them up in a U shape for the uprights.
Slightly bend the edges of the bottom straw.  Next, hot glue the straws together.
Cut another straw to form the bottom of the goal post.  For extra support I cut a small circle and hot glued it to one end to cover the opening.
Punch holes in the top of the menu and use the twine to tie it to the top of the “uprights.”  I ended up putting a dab of hot glue on the twine to secure it and keep it from moving around too much.
Stick your goal post in a block of floral foam.  I covered the foam in paper from the football package to create my football field.
Do you have football fever?  What’s your favorite tailgate or football party food?
