This easy no sew table runner will be the center piece of your Super Bowl party. Use simple felt, ribbon and glue to create a football themed decoration perfect for serving Mexican Corn Dip, Slow Cooker Buffalo Chicken Sandwiches and a big pitcher full of Pineapple Sangria.
This year we are hosting our very fist Super Bowl party. My husband is so excited about it that he put it on our synced family calendar in October. We’re planning to keep our guest list small – mostly family and maybe a few close friends – but I still want to create a fun football themed atmosphere, preferably with little effort on my part!
I saw this no sew table runner underneath a football themed food photo on Pinterest. I dug around and found the original tutorial at the Simmworks Family Blog. However, after I’d gotten my materials together I forgot to take a look and see how Danielle did it. Have I mentioned I don’t follow directions well? So mine looks entirely different.
I bought a yard and a half of green felt, which was way too much. Half of a yard would probably suffice. I cut the felt down to size and then had to figure out where to put the ribbon. I used 5/8″ satin ribbon for the field markings. My end zones are 5″ wide and each yard line is about 3″ apart. I cut 1″ pieces of ribbon for the hash marks in between the yard lines.
I ended up needing just over 1 roll of ribbon and of course I only bought one to start with. But in total, I think this took me less than half an hour to put together. I’m thrilled with the way it turned out. My kids want to play football with their Barbies and action figures on it so you can even use it after the Super Bowl!

Cute idea for football parties or just celebrating the big game at home with the family! Thanks for sharing with us at Family Joy Blog linky party.
Very creative idea. Those of us without the gift of ever learning how to sewing really appreciate it! Lol.
These decorating ideas are so cute for a super bowl party. These could even be used for a birthday party. My son loves football. He loves it so much that every day I get home from work, he asks me to come play football with him. His birthday is coming up so I may try out these decorations. He would love it.
Definitely! This would be adorable under a football party spread.
Oh my goodness, so cute! Super bowl Sunday is gonna rock! Thanks for linking up to Snickerdoodle Sunday.

Camille, this is terrific! Thank you for sharing at the Thursday Favorite Things hop xo P.S. Have I ever mentioned that my husband is from the UP?
A UPer! 🙂 I grew up in the northwestern area of the state, near the lake. My sister lives up by Traverse, now. Not missing the cold and snow this time of year.
I found you from the Show and Tell Saturday link up. This would make the perfect addition to any Football party. I just started a new Saturday Spotlight Linky Party on my blog this week, and would love to have you stop by and share! http://angelshomestead.com/saturday-spotlight-1/

What a fun site! I linked up – thanks for the invite.
It looks good. I like the detailed directions.
Enjoy watching the Superbowl. My team will be playing so we may need to liven up the place for the big game.
Good luck! 🙂
What a great idea! Love it! It’s perfect for a football party. And my kids would have their cars and dolls on it, too. 😉
I think I’m going to have to use the extra felt to make another one for them!
Super cute!! Pinning to my Football Party Board!
That sounds like a fun board!
That’s so cute! If the Cowboys are ever in the Super Bowl I’m going to make one of these!
Thanks so much for linking up with the Whip It Up Wednesday linky party, looking forward to seeing more creations from you in the future.
Dude, I’m from Michigan and all we have are the Lions! It’s been a lifetime of disappointment.
