Super Bowl Party!


I am not a big football fan but my husband loves the sport and treats Super Bowl like it's the sequel to Christmas. I'm always up for a good party so this year, we decided to do a baked potato bar and a nachos bar. We have a huge kitchen island so I decided to have some fun and create the "Nachos vs. Baked Potato Bowl 2013". Can't wait for the 2014 Super Bowl! 


We decided to create a football field on our island. Every football field needs goal posts. I created these using precut 12 inch PVC pipes from Home Depot. They were $1.29 each. To ground them, I stuck them in a small clay pot filled with gravel and painted it all yellow. 

We had around 12 toppings for the nachos and baked potatoes. I created two "bleachers" using 6 inch pine boards that I spray painted metallic silver. One bleacher stood 6 inches in height and the other one stood 3 inches in height. 

Isn't my husband talented? To stick with our Nachos vs. Baked Potato theme, he created little 49ers using craft store paint and red potatoes (leftover from Christmas, haha). 

We bought a green tablecloth with a grass pattern from Party City. My husband created the field lines and team names using medical tape. He's the true Pinterest junkie in this relationship :-)



Formation time: Going with the purple color scheme for Baltimore, he created the opposing team out of purple corn chips and arranged them to look like Ravens. 
Touchdown!
