Instructions:
1. Cut piece of Blue cardstock and Brown handmade paper 2½ x 2”.

2. Using decorative scissors, deckle the edges of the Blue cardstock.

3. Adhere blue cardstock to brown handmade paper.

4. Attach the wire shape to blue/brown pieces by making tiny holes through both layers with needle tool or pin (place on foam cushion to do this) in several places. Make horseshoe shapes with the matching wire. Insert these horseshoe shapes through the tiny holes around shapes and secure by flattening open on the back of the cardstock (like a brad).

5. Cut piece of Green cardstock 3¼ wide x 5” long. Fold piece in half to make a piece 3¼ x 2½”.

6. Secure each side of green cardstock together with three mini copper eyelets.

7. Adhere wired cardstock piece to front of each green eyelet piece.

8. Apply tacky glue to front of green cardstock around outside of wired piece, avoiding eyelets, and sprinkle immediately with meadow speckles. After 10 minutes, tap off excess grass.

9. Apply glue to both sides of craft stick for at least 1” from top and insert between green cardstock. Press together until glue has dried.

10. Insert decoration into football related snacks.
