Score big with your Super Bowl decor
Transform your party table into a mini football field with this DIY Super Bowl decor that is visually striking and easy to make. Get a piece of green felt or fabric and cut it to the length of your table, creating the look of a lush football field. Use fabric paint or white tape to add numbers and yard lines, mimicking how an actual football field looks.
For an extra touch to bring a little authenticity, create small goalposts at each end of the table with small dowels or craft sticks. This football field table runner is an excellent backdrop to your Super Bowl party while adding excitement to the game and helping your guests feel like they're part of the action.
2 Team Colors Floral Arrangements
Pretty flowers in your favorite team colors
Create Super Bowl decor that celebrates the competing teams' colors with floral arrangements. Pick flowers that closely match the colors of the teams playing in the Super Bowl and arrange them in vases with the team logos on them or tie them with colored ribbons. For example, this year it's the San Francisco 49ers and the Kansas City Chiefs, so you'd get flowers in shades of red, black, white and gold. The Kansas City Chiefs will wear a red jersey with white pants, while the San Francisco 49ers will wear white jerseys with gold pants.
So, adding red and white roses in an arrangement would support the Kansas City Chiefs, while white roses with sunflowers or marigolds would represent the San Francisco 49ers. These floral arrangements are an excellent way to bring a vibrant and fresh feel to your party setup, allowing you to support your team in a sophisticated way. Put your flowers around the viewing room or area for a thematic and festive touch to impress your guests.
Add the best food for Super Bowl parties
What is the best food for Super Bowl parties? Usually, this involves snack items you can pick up and eat during the game, like wings, veggies, or nachos. With this Super Bowl decor idea, you'll create something fun to look at and great to eat.
- Get a rectangular serving tray for the football field and lay down a layer of green dip or guacamole to represent the grass.
- To create the end zones and yard lines, pipe cream cheese or sour cream along the edges of the tray.
- For a fun touch, you can add tiny edible flags to mark the end zones with the team names, using pieces of tortilla chips or small crackers as players.
This interactive centerpiece serves as a delicious appetizer and conversation starter, making your Super Bowl party unforgettable.
4 DIY Football Decorated Cookies
Add a sweet treat to your DIY football party
Give your party a small, extra thoughtful touch by creating DIY football party cookies. Start by buying or baking cookies, (you can do one type or several). Sugar cookies are a nice choice because they're a popular option to decorate around the holidays, and they cut out great. Get a shirt and a football-shaped cookie cutter and cut out miniature footballs and jerseys. Bake them and leave them on racks until they're completely cool.
Next, get the icing and decorate the cookies. Brown with white laces for the footballs, and the team colors for the jerseys. You can even write your friend's names on the jerseys in icing and give it to them as a fun thank you for attending your Super Bowl party. This is a sweet treat for your guests, and they add to your DIY Super Bowl decor because you can pile them on a table with the snacks and let people take them as they trickle in and out.
Depending on your guests, a mini bottle of alcohol is a nice touch, with bonus points if it matches the team colors.
Create a festive wreath to welcome guests
Creating a floral arrangement in the shape of a wreath and hanging it on your door is a great way to kick off the spirit of your party as soon as guests come to your door. To do this fun project, you'll need:
- Foam wreath form,
- Faux flowers,
- Greenery and filler,
- Small football-themed decorations,
- Large helmet or football decoration,
- Ribbon,
- Hot glue gun and glue sticks,
- Wire cutters,
- Floral wire.
Step 1: Prep the Materials
Trim the stems of your faux flowers and greenery with your wire cutters. You want to make sure you leave roughly 2 inches at the ends because this is how you'll secure them into the foam wreath form.
Step 2: Plan Your Design
Before you glue anything, lay out your flowers and decorations on the wreath form to get an idea of the design. Think about where you want to put the small decorations and how you'll incorporate your team's colors.
Step 3: Start Adding Flowers
Start by inserting the stems of your larger flowers into the foam form. Apply a small bit of hot glue to the stems before inserting to ensure they stay in place. Space them evenly around the wreath to get a balanced look.
Step 4: Add Greenery and Filler
Fill in the gaps between the larger flowers with greenery and smaller flowers or filler. This will give your wreath a full and lush look. If you have a lot of small decorations, slide them into place to help fill in any gaps.
Step 5: Attach the Larger Football Decoration
Secure your football or helmet decoration to the wreath with floral wire or hot glue, depending on its size and weight. Make sure it's prominently displayed somewhere, like in the center of the wreath.
Step 6: Add Ribbon and Your Final Touches
Use ribbon in your team's colors to create a bow or loops throughout the wreath for extra flair. Secure the ribbon with hot glue or floral wire. If you have other team-themed decorations, like mini helmets or themed charms, add them to the wreath now.
Step 7: Finalize and Hang
Once you have all the elements securely attached and the glue dries, tie a piece of ribbon into a loop and attach it to the back of the wreath to hang it.
You can hang it on your door when you finish with it to welcome guests or use it as a festive centerpiece.
6 Team Logo Cupcake Toppers
Offer a sweet but festive treat
Add a fun personal touch to your Super Bowl party treats by creating team logos and sticking them on cupcakes. You can make these at home easily using printable logos of whichever teams are playing in the Super Bowl. To make these DIY football party decor items, print the logos on cardstock, cut them out, and glue them to a small skewer or toothpick.
Bake or buy cupcakes with team colors for the frosting and stick the toppers into the frosting to give you an edible display. These toppers serve as a delicious way to show off your team pride, and they also make for a visually appealing dessert option that guests will love.
Add height and capture the excitement
A football-themed balloon garland is one way to boost your party's atmosphere by capturing the game's excitement. Combine balloons in the team colors of both teams in the Super Bowl, and add green balloons to mimic the turf and brown football-shaped balloons to give an authentic feel. Use a garland strip to assemble the balloon garland, alternating colors or shapes to create a fun, dynamic display.
When you finish, hang your garland above the table where you put your selection of the best food for Super Bowl parties, along a wall, or over the entrance of the viewing room to greet guests as they arrive. This DIY Super Bowl decor idea adds to your overall theme, but you can also use it as the perfect backdrop for pictures.
