OMG! This napkin football penalty flag diy project is SO freak’n easy!!
It’s so easy that I’ve gotta share how to make a football referee penalty flag with you.
I’ll be hosting a Super Bowl party this year and wanted to have a few “props” for my guests. Somethings that would add to the fun of watching the game.
And what’s better than penalty flags?
Seriously, if you are a football fan (or your significant other is), then you know how often you want to through a penalty flag on the field yourself.
Give these to your guests so they can be the referees and watch them have a blast throwing penalty flags whenever they disagree with a call on the field.
Too fun!

How to Make Party Football Penalty Flags
First, open the napkin up all the way.
Second, place a lollipop in the center of the napkin.

Third, diagonally fold the napkin over the lollipop.

Fourth, gather the middle of the napkin around the base of the lollipop.
Fifth, wrap a small rubber band around the napkin at the base of the lollipop.

That’s it! Wasn’t it so freak’n easy to make your own diy napkin football penalty flags?
Now quickly whip up a pile of them for your guests to use at your football party.


*If your guests don’t want to use their penalty napkin flag as a prop, they can open them up, enjoy the lollipop and then use the napkin.
**Note: depending on how hard your guests “throw” their diy penalty flag, the lollipops might break. So encourage them to “toss” their flags (lol).
