Tailgating Party Ideas

Maria Provenzano

 

Pennant Materials:

Ruler

Pencil

Felt sheets

Fabric scissors

Decorative options: additional felt and fabric glue, iron- on letters, logos

Dowel

Hot-glue gun or industrial-strength glue

 

Directions:

1. Using a ruler and pencil, create the pennant by drawing a triangle on one of the felt sheets.

2. Cut along the lines on the felt with fabric scissors.

3. Create wording with the felt sheets by tracing and cutting out letters and attaching them with fabric glue, or using iron-on letters or logos and attaching with an iron as directed.

4. Use fabric glue to attach additional felt details, such as borders and designs.

5. Attach the felt to a dowel with hot glue or industrial- strength glue that is safe to use on fabrics.

 

Garland Materials:

Ruler

Ribbon or twine

Fabric scissors

Felt sheets

Pencil

Fabric glue

 

Directions:

1. Measure the desired length of the garland and cut the rib-bon or twine to size.

2. Decide on the desired size of the pennants, considering how they will fit on the garland. When used alongside the large Felt Pennant, these look best when they are about half that size so that the large pennant stands out.

3. Draw the triangles on the felt with a ruler and pencil. Cut out the triangles with fabric scissors. Repeat until there are enough triangles to cover the length of the garland.

4. Lay out the triangle pennants in a row on a long, flat sur-face, and place the ribbon or thread along the top of the pieces. Attach the ribbon or thread to the felt with fabric glue. Allow the glue to dry completely; this can take a few hours, depending on the weather.

 

Tailgate Tips:

Frozen water bottles: It’s always a good idea to have water on hand, so why not get more bang for your buck? Freeze the water bottles ahead of time and when game day rolls around, just pop them straight in the cooler instead of ice.

 

Pop-up trash bins: Keep your tailgate location clean by providing your fellow tailgaters with a place for trash. I also like to have an additional pop-up bin for items that can be recycled, like bottles and boxes.

 

Extra blankets: Blankets always come in handy, no matter the temperature. They can be a place to sit if your tailgate is on a field, and long game days can often turn into cool nights. Blankets are especially important for chilly tailgating days; inevitably, someone won’t dress for the weather and will need additional layers.

 

A tent for hot days: I’ve tailgated in Florida, so trust me when I say this one is lifesaving. A little shade goes a long way when the heat is in the upper nineties. A portable fan can save the day as well.
