Customize a tote bag that displays your team spirit.  This would be great to hold all you will need at those cool night football games, like an extra blanket, snacks, camera, noise makers and extra fan gear.  This can also hold a change of clothes for after the game, extra books and such. 

Measure the length around the top of your bag opening, then cut a coordinating length of hem binding and sew a variety of decorative ribbon in team colors to the binding. Layer the ribbons so there wont be any gaps.  Leave the ribbon long enough to hang over the top edge of the bag. Using a variety of textures ans size of ribbons will give it a dramatic look.  Then sew the binding to the inner edge of the opening.  Some craft supplies like  fabric paint, foam stamps, glitter, buttons, and metal studs to decorate plain canvas totes. Before painting your school name, nickname onto the 
bag, place a piece of cardboard inside to keep paint from seeping through 
to the other side. Add more decorations if you choose, the more the better until it you are happy with it.
