Grab your Duck Tape and mason jars y’all! These football-themed mason jar crafts are the perfect addition to any football party. Follow along as I show you how to make both of these football party mason jar crafts.
DIY Football Decor Ideas With Mason Jars
If you are planning a tailgating or other football game party, then you want some cheap decor ideas. I have 2 ideas for you and both of them use mason jars that you already have around your home.
The first idea is a plastic utensils holder. Decorate leftover glass jars from salsa or jelly with Duck Tape. When you see how easy it is, you’ll want to do this for every party!
The next idea is to create glass mason jar mugs that look like footballs. Don’t forget to add a cute straw with green flags!
The entire tutorial is at the end of this post in a printable craft card. First, I’m going to share some step-by-step pictures along with some tips.
How To Make Utensil Holders Out Of Mason Jars
The first football mason jar idea is to decorate empty jars to look like football jerseys.
Supplies
To make the utensil holders you will need a sheet of green Duck Tape and a sheet of white Duck Tape. That’s all you need! Oh, and a Cricut cutting machine.
Yes, Duck Tape comes in sheets and it is great for crafts like these. If you can’t find a green, use your favorite color of Duck brand tape sheets.
Tips On How To Put Together The Mason Jars
Before you begin, measure the green Duck tape on the jars and mark how wide they need to be to fit over the mason jars. Then, cut them into equal pieces.
Use your Cricut to cut numbers from the white Duck sheet.
Use Leftover Jars
Wrap small jelly jars with the green Duck sheet then add the numbers to the front that you cut with your Cricut.
You don’t have to buy new mason jars for this craft. Just save and reuse jars from your fridge or pantry. In fact, you don’t even have to completely remove the labels since you are going to be covering the jars with the tape.
Add in your utensils and these mason jars are ready for your football party.
How To Make Football Themed Mason Jar Mugs
Next is the football mason jar mug. It uses the same supplies as the previous mason jars – the same Duck tape. Since these are going to be drinking mugs, it’s best to find some with handles, but it’s not required.
First, cut the parts shown below from the white Duck tape with your Cricut.
Add them to your mason jar mugs and fill them with beverages. You can also put green tape flags on fun straws to complete the look.
These are seriously some of the easiest party crafts you will ever make!
Your guests will love these football themed mason jar mugs at your party.

Love doing diy projects and love the Football mason jar one. My son and his family are big sports buffs, this is going to go over big with them.
Thanks again 🙂
Starting to do projects to keep my mind active since I am a caregiver for my husband who has the early signs of Alzheimer’s. This would help me greatly in doing a lot of projects.
Thanks again for considering me.
wolfgirlhere@yahoo.com says my husband would love these. If I win Cricut I will make for sure. Thanks for chance to win. I have tried for month to win this thing with no unknown well at least I have one more try here.
omg I need this machine. What a dream this would be. I am an animal rescue and I make cards sets etc to sell to help fund the sprays of the animals I trap. I trap strays and they go off to another group who puts them up for adoption. I socialize feral kittens and they go to Pet Smart.
The feral cats I bring back to my property after vetting of course and they go in an acclimation kennel for 30 days outside so they want run off when let out. The feral so live out there life in backyard and woods behind house. I provide insulated houses and food continued vet car for rest of their life. Feral cats that are true wild feral so can’t be adopted.
I need this machine to make adoption event banners and mass product craft and home decor items to sell.
Thank you so much for the inspiration of ideas and chance to win. This would be A Life Saver To Animals and Me Too!

I would love to make a bunch of those mason jar football mugs. We’ve had a Superbowl party every year for over 30 years. These would be a great idea. You could write guests’ name on the duct tape!
great idea i will make this one
Just found you today, so glad I did. If I won this, my first project would be for my son’s 30th b-day. Next would probably be for a VA support project. I’m sure it would get plenty of use and I know it would be greatly appreciated. Good luck to everybody!
Love this idea! Every Sunday during football season our family does something fun for lunch, and then we hang out to watch the games during the day. This is perfect for our first football Sunday together.
Where do I get the football laces for the mason jars? I love this and want to make it!
I would say you can use any football image and trace the laces. I don’t have an SVG currently.
