Howling Football YADI!

Cover.jpg

This is no ordinary football, it has a tail and howls in the wind as you throw it. Think of this as a craft you can make instead of buying one whole, with things you can find around the house!

This is a great way to Transform that Old football into a NEW and Exciting Howler!

Form the base so the football stays in but not all the way out. Essentially you will be making a cylinder with the paper for the base. Then glue the football onto the base, if needed secure the base cylinder with tape

Cut Tail Slots and Fins

Summary

At first I was skeptical on the whole idea and considered passing it up and brainstorming some more. But, I looked around and found all the supplies and was able to buy them together.. It turned out way better than I expected and is a lot of fun to use outside. The biggest challenge was trying to get the wings to stay in place while the glue dried.
