Paper Football Construction
Due to the audience and impromptu nature of the game, a paper football is often made out of a single sheet of lined paper, though any material from origami paper to leather has been used. The paper is either cut or folded to form a long strip, and this is in turn folded up in a diagonal fashion until the end of the strip is tucked into the last fold, securing the final paper football in its iconic triangular shape. Also you can put cotton in it to make it resemble an actual paper football ball. In the absence of paper, sugar packets, matchbooks, and foil-wrapped cookies have also been used to substitute for a ball.
