Water Bottle Paper Football Goal Post

Want to flick some paper football field goals? No one home to make you a goal post out of their fingers? Forgot to steal a miniature goal post from your last Super Bowl party? Look to further, the Water Bottle Paper Football Goal Post is here!

Step 1 Gather your items

1. Two water bottles (I used 12 FL OZ Poland Spring bottles, but use whatever you have and is more comfortable to you)
2. A double sided pencil (Break the eraser off of a regular pencil and sharpen that side. Don't break off to much because the bottom will be too short and will be harder to flick a field goal)
Optional Items
1. Hot glue or Tape (to hold the pencil in better)
2. Marbles (the same amount in both bottles so that they don't fall easily)

If you're going to play with the hot-glue anyway, why not build a set of goals out of pencils? You'd need four: snap one in half, and glue the halves to the blunt ends of two other pencils, making tall inverted letter T. Glue the last pencil across between the upright pencils (cross bar) and, presto, a set of posts for table rugby or American football. Why do you call it "football", by the way? You hardly ever kick the thing, just run around for a minute or two then stop for a rest. (Ducks and runs for cover)

1. I like your idea. Without hot glue, the water bottle would probably be simpler to make, though. But still your idea looks more like a football goal post. One question though, how would it stand up? Wait, you could get a stack of papers, make a small hole through them, and stick the bottom through the hole. I don't know, what ever you like more.

You could also stab it through the bottom of a cup. That would be a good stand!

The half-pencils would be like feet, but maybe not so stable as your bottles. I like the stacks of paper idea, perfect for sneaky office matches - as soon as the boss gets near, whip out the pencil and they're back to being your "in" and "out" piles...

You are like a god to me. This is inspirational. This will forever change my life. Where did you get this amazing idea? Thanks For being a god!! P.S. No that was not sarcasm.

By the way, I thought of it because I wanted to kick some paper footballs, but my friend wouldn't make a field goal with his fingers anymore and told me to make something. So I don't know, but the idea of using water bottles and a pencil seemed good. And thats how it happened!
