Football Graduation Party

Our youngest son played football through high school and was his life. I thought it would be fun to throw him a football themed Graduation party - Turned out awesome!!

Step 1:  Spray paint field - lay it out first on paper so everything is measured correctly - I just used white yard paint from lows. It took about 6 cans total.

Step 2: Make bobble heads with dowels from Michaels, printer from my office and a couple of pictures of graduating child.

I made different sizes so everyone could join in the fun

Step 3: Party hats for everyone

Step 4: Football Cakes

Step 5: Party Chachkies, got this made from Walgreens for around $20

The start of a football game...

 The party turned out Great!

 A little spray paint and a stencil from etsy - Total cost about $30.00

At the curb... I think it is actually pretty awesome/funny!

Pine Cone Place Cards

I found these on Pinterest and decided to give it a try. This cost $11 and I got everything at Michaels (Pine Cones were 50% off today), if you have the right pine tree you obviously can get them for free. And the Martha Stewart silver paint was $4.49. It took about 30-40 minutes to do twenty of them.

Start with basic pine cone.

Add Martha Stewart Silver paint to the tips...

I printed out 3x2 name tags using calligraphy font "Tangerine" - Free on freefonts.com (sorry a bit blurry)

30 minutes later here is the finished product - NICE!
