As you might have seen in my part of the Super Bowl Appetizer Contest, I had NY Giants appetizer picks in my Buffalo Chicken Bites. I thought I would share with you how I made these. They are really easy to make and are cheaper then going to a party supply stores for team decorations.
Here is what you need:
– A computer with internet connection
– White Card Stock Paper
– Colored Printer
– Scissors
– 1 1/2 inch circle paper punch/or stencil
– Double Sided Tape
– Flat Toothpicks
On a word processor, paste your teams logos (you can get them off the internet on Google Image by searching for your team.) Size them so they will fit in a 1 1/2 inch circle (I did this on MS Word.)
Print out on stock paper and punch or cut out into 1 1/2 inch circles. (if you don’t have a circle punch, you can trace a circle around the images with pencil and then cut them out)
Cut as many circles out as you need toothpicks for, then make as many blank circles as you made logo ones.
Take the blank circle and place two pieces of double-sided tape on the circle. Place toothpick on the tape.
Take logo circle, logo-side up and line it up with the tape-side up circle with toothpick in place ( making sure to line the logo up with the toothpick so that the logo will be straight)and press together. Press hard until everything looks stuck together.
You can make these for different teams or actually anything! I made the following for my friends who are fans of these teams:
And put them in cupcakes with green frosting and homemade chocolate footballs.
New York Teams!
Group Picture! GO Jets, Bills, Giants, Panthers, Eagles, and Cowboys! Note there are no Patriot cupcakes.
I made my favorite cupcake recipe, which I have already posted about 2 years ago. In the post, I referenced a guy I was dating. Well that “guy” I was dating is now my boyfriend and we have been together for 2 years as of yesterday!
