Imagine That: DIY Football Table Cover

Just in time for Super Bowl XLIX we have a quick, fun, and festive table cloth that will create conversation during pregame, at halftime and during post-game activities!
Supplies: Green Felt (or fabric of your choice), Ribbon, Stickers(Numbers and Letters), Straight Pins, Ruler or Measuring Tape, and Masking Tape to hold/mark your spot. Before going out to purchase your felt or fabric, make sure you measure the space you want to cover. Additionally, add two inches on each side just to be safe. Also, make sure you purchase enough letters to spell TOUCH DOWN or your favorite teams name for the in zone.
Step 1: Unfold and position felt the way you want it to lay on your table or counter (you may have to add a few pieces of tape underneath the fabric to secure it in place while you complete the design). Take masking tape and label each yard line starting with the 50 yard line in the middle of the field and work your way down to the 10 yard line.
Step 2: Unwind ribbon and position it in place of the tape creating your official YARD LINES. Secure them in place with straight pins or glue.
Step 3: Add Stickers This was a really quick and fun project. It took me approximately 30 minutes with the longest time spent measuring out and positioning the yard lines. You can also personalize this as much as you want by adding your favorite teams colors, making a 3D field goal, adding benches and players to the sidelines....skies the limit to what you can do. Imagine that! I was so pleased with the finished product! What do you think?
Now the goal is usually to take a picture after the staging is complete, but I don't know what happened here!
I think you still get the idea! Happy Super Bowl 2015! Eventfully yours, Jennifer
