Get your football fans and players ready with these free printable football-shaped hair elastic cards! Add some fun hair elastics and you’ve got a cool gift to hand out before the game or with the post-game snacks. These also make great party favors at a football-themed birthday party.

I don’t care if you’re playing football, escorting sweaty football players home from game day, or cheering on your favorite team–all of those things are easier when your hair is pulled back, right?

Always hand drawn
It’s from MeganHStudio, so you know those footballs are hand drawn–that’s the only way I roll 😉 They’re free for your personal use. For more info about copyright and licensing, click here.
Different Text Options
There are 4 different sayings on these. You can pick the ones you like best or use them all! They are meant to work well for a girl’s football team or as party favors at a football-themed birthday party. Each template is formatted to print on regular letter sized paper (8.5×11 inches) and should print out well regardless of how cheap your printer is.

Easy Peasy Assembly
If you have a printer, scissors and some fold over elastics, you can pull off some fun football themed gifts!
- Download the templates you want to use
- Print as many as you need (for personal use). I recommend printing on white cardstock (at least 110#). I used this 110# cardstock for these samples. You could go thicker if your printer can handle it! This 120# cardstock will hold up very well with elastic around it 😉
- Use the elastic cutting guide on the side of the page to measure your hair elastics
- Cut out each football
- Tie the ends of each elastic in a knot and slip 1-2 over each football cut out

Readers often ask about where I get the materials to create my examples. Here are links to the specific products I used to create these samples.
- 110# White Cardstock for printing
- If your printer can handle thicker material, this 120# cardstock is even better 😉
- Solid color Fold Over Elastics for hair ties that arrive quickly from Amazon.
- I also found this grab bag of football-themed fold over elastics from OnceUponATimeSupply on Etsy. They have all kinds of fun prints available, and they ship QUICK!

Did you know I sell stuff too?
I specialize in fingerprint posters, signature posters, art prints and invitations. These are available for sale on Etsy and Amazon Handmade.
What’s a fingerprint poster?? I’m glad you asked! They’re a perfect way to commemorate guests at an event and also make great thank you gifts for teachers 😉 People add their fingerprint and sign their name on the artwork as a clever way to complete an element. Fingerprint trees are the most common–fingerprints are the added as leaves on the branches. And of course I have lots of great options for football-themed events!
