I made another 2 NFL (American football team) pennants tonight. And, I decided to string them up on a laundry line so I can adjust them every year as I add more. Actually, I'll probably need two strings because I have 5 more pennants not pictured here (maybe AFC and NFC?).
The big game is this Sunday. Our menu:
- Antipasti platter featuring olives, pickles, roasted peppers, mushrooms and baby mozzerella balls
- Cheese fondue with bread cubes, green apples, carrots and broccolli
- Chili (turkey and veggie versions)
- Jell-O helmets in blue and black (orange+grape=black)
- and for dessert we are tentatively planning on chocolate fondue
We'll probably do some chips and guacamole and some chex mix too. I'll post pictures.
Oh, and my football pennants are featured this week on the modern eve blog along with some really yummy looking football cupcakes.
Thanks for stopping by my blog today. I'd love to hear your Super Bowl traditions. And, if you are from outside the USA, I'd love to hear about your sports traditions.
Thank you for stopping by my blog. I'm hoping to have lots more fun stuff to share with you this year.
Step 1: Fold the felt in half and mark the center.
Step 2: Make your background shape. Using a ruler or piece of paper, mark and cut from each of the top corners to your center line. 
For the field, cut a staight piece and glue it down the center. Don't worry about the bottom part hanging off the sides of your triangle. Just flip it over and trim.
Step 3: Make a template: Print out and cut out your shape. I find images on the internet or make numbers in Word.
Step 4: Lay your image on your felt and cut around the outside of your template. If you are using an image with multiple layers (like my Cardinal), then cut the largest piece of felt first, cut the template down to the next color and continue cutting until all of your layers are cut.
Step 5: Glue it down. I like Tacky Glue but I'm sure any fabric or Elmers glue would work.
Some of the penants have a top strip. For the field I made it in 2 pieces so it would be flat and added a couple field lines. 
Here they are hanging in my living room. You can email me with questions. Thanks for visiting. Happy Super Bowl Sunday! If you make a pennant, please share the link with me. I'd love to see it.
