DIY Football Themed Koozies and Drink Markers

At the start of every new year, I look forward to the end of the NFL Football season.  Not because I’m tired of football…Are you kidding? Who could get tired of football???  (Jacque put your hand down!)  No, what I look forward to is the Super Bowl!  And of course, when I think Super Bowl, I think Super Bowl Parties!  The first event after the holidays to get your friends and family back together again!  So with that in mind, I thought I’d share a few quick and easy projects that you might want to try out at your next Super Bowl get together!  So without further ado, let’s take a look at how to make your own DIY Football Themed Koozies and Drink Markers!

We’ll start out with the Mason Jar Football Themed Koozies!

Here’ s a list of materials you’ll need:

• Mason Jar
• Green Indoor/Outdoor Carpet
• Indoor/Outdoor Carpet Tape
• Stencil (Optional)
• Small Paint Brush
• Valspar Paint Sample
• Scissors

Using a pair of utility scissors, cut a strip of the indoor/outdoor carpet to 4″ inches  in width, then cut it to a length that will wrap around the outside of the mason jar.  

Make a stencil that resembles a football field.  (I used a vinyl cutter to make this stencil.)  If you don’t have a vinyl cutter you easily could accomplish the same design by painting in the yards lines using a straight edge as a guide, then hand painting the yardage numbers in!  

With the stencil secured in place, paint the football theme onto the cut carpet strip

Remove the stencil and allow the paint to dry.

Flip the carpet strip over and apply the indoor/outdoor carpet tape to the backside.

Now you’re ready to apply the carpet strip onto the mason jar.

Now let’s move onto the Football Themed Drink Markers!  

Here’s what you’ll need:

• Wooden Biscuits
• 9/64″ Drill Bit
• Drill
• Brown Permanent Marker
• Silver Reflective Marker
• Twine

You’ll be using wooden plate joining biscuits as your markers. 

Using the brown permanent marker, color the wooden biscuit.

Drill a hole into the wooden biscuit using a 9/64″ drill bit.

Draw the football laces and write a marker number near the bottom of the biscuit.

And lastly, tie a loop in the twine large enough to fit around the neck of a bottle

Now give each of your guests a drink marker so that they can keep track of their bottles!  Each guest should have a different number!

There you have it!  Two simple and quick projects to add a nice personal touch for your next Super Bowl party!
