Football Float Component

Comments:

I bought this for a homecoming float, and I couldn't have been more pleased. I was a little concerned when I opened the box and realized the tissue poms were supposed to be attached to the cardboard with double-sided tape. I've always used chicken-wire in the past (with the cut-up fingers to prove it), so I was afraid the tissue poms would all start flying off when we started moving. I was amazed how well they stayed on. We didn't lose ONE POM! It was SO much EASIER as well. Be warned, however, that it is made of cardboard, so if you are using it for a float, you need to plan for support for it to stand. The directions suggest cutting a three-sided "door" in the bottom and adding bricks for stability, but I knew that wasn't going to be enough. My husband built a triangle frame attached to the trailer and we slid the football down over it and then added the bricks. It worked wonderfully!
