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.

“There’s a long story, my friend. I never did like the idea of sitting on newspapers. I did it once and all the headlines came off on my white pants. On the level, it actually happened. Nobody bought a paper that day. They just followed me around over town and read the news off the seat of my pants.”

“Idon’t enjoy getting knocked about on a football field for other people’s amusement. I enjoy it if I’m being paid a lot for it.”
—David Storey (b. 1933)
“There’s no art
To find the mind’s construction in the face.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
