Football Team Placemat
Instructions for making a woven placemat craft using your favorite football team's colors.

Materials Needed:

  • Construction Paper
  • Tape
  • Glue
  • Clear Contact Paper

Instructions:
Cut 10 strips of construction paper (I used purple for the Vikings), each should be approximately 2 inches thick and 24 inches long. Lay them down side by side and secure the tops with a piece of tape.

Cut 12 strips of paper, whichever color you want (I used yellow for the Vikings!), each should be approximately 2 inches wide by 22 inches long. You will use these pieces to weave through your taped pieces.

Weave each piece through the taped pieces until you get your completed placemat.

Once your placemat is done, find the matching graphic for your favorite team, print it out, and glue it on your placemat. Once you get the design the way you want to, cover both sides with clear contact paper and it will last for a long, long time!
