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.

Famous quotes containing the words paper, football and/or construction:
“Two heavy trestles, and a board
Where Sato’s gift, a changeless sword,
By pen and paper lies,
That it may moralise
My days out of their aimlessness.”
—William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)
“In football they measure forty-yard sprints. Nobody runs forty yards in basketball. Maybe you run the ninety-four feet of the court; then you stop, not on a dime, but on Miss Liberty’s torch. In football you run over somebody’s face.”
—Donald Hall (b. 1928)
“There’s no art
To find the mind’s construction in the face.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
