The Best Philadelphia Eagles Crafts and Handmade Gifts

Philadelphia Eagles admirers are extremely passionate and a little crazy. Some “Iggles” fans love their team like family — and the football season can be one long Thanksgiving dinner where fans celebrate, argue, boo and throw things. In the case of Eagles fans, they like to whip snowballs at opposing coaches and Santa Claus. But that same familial love also inspires heartfelt gifts and handmade crafts. For example, the Tailgate Wife has instructions for how to make an Eagles Christmas Tree.
Eagles Bar
You can also make your own DIY bar wood bar (green paint not included) for about $100. But you’ll probably need thousands of dollars with of semi-pro saws to do it right. Take your pick.
Philadelphia Eagles License Plate Sign
Buying a lot of 15 used, green and white Vermont license plates plus a few Pennsylvania ones mixed in will cost you between $20 and $30. The rest is a plank of wood and screws. Probably $40 of materials overall and some time to paint the plank line up the letters, tap the pieces flat, and screw them in. It takes a little patience to cut and trim all the pieces so they align neatly, but it doesn’t take much time. If you really enjoy making the sign, the host of the Southern Balance video explains, making license plate signs can also be a very profitable business.
Philadelphia Eagles Holiday Wreath
If you’re willing to learn how to make a deco mesh ring, you can practice and make five or six messy ones and still not spend $100, let alone $175. If you want to make one in the style of Shannon on Etsy, check out DIY Dion’s ring wreath style and use green and silver mesh as well as Eagles ribbon (which can be bought on Etsy).
Crochet Wine and Hat Cozy
Does a bottle of wine need winter outerwear? Probably not, but it is darling. If you don’t have the time or interest in making a miniature hat and scarf set in green and grey, you can buy one for the reasonable price of $18 on eBay.
String Art
You can definitely make your own Eagles logo string art, but unless you’re already proficient at the pastime, it may just make more sense to buy one on Etsy for $50.
Tissue Box Cozy
This project typically begins with a canvas, so you’ll need to design your own, but the materials only cost a handful of dollars. When you're done, you can keep your tissue box close for when the Eagles kicker shanks the game-winning ball outside of the uprights. (Eagles fans understand.)
