Another idea is to grab a cheap doormat, the ones that look like grass. Then hot glue the football party goal post to the mat. You could even add white tape to the mat for the end zone.
Step 1: Glue & Assemble
First, use the hot glue gun to glue the cans together to form the DIY football party decoration.
Thankfully the aluminum is VERY forgiving… in case it seems askew, just pull apart and glue again. Easy Peasy!
You want to glue a set of 3 cans and 2 sets of 2 cans.
Then glue 1 can to the middle of the 3 cans to become part of the base.
When you are done, you will have a raw Field Goal and you are ready to paint!
Step 2: Paint
I painted the single full can first.
It is painted black since it will is at the bottom of the base.

It took several coats to cover the blue cans with yellow paint. But it worked!

Glue the top of the black base can to the base of the football party goal post.
Then tape embellishments to the top as a finishing touch!
All done!
