I come from a family of HUGE basketball fans. I grew up watching my older brother play. While I’m only 5’5″ and didn’t get the basketball genes, I was able to cheer him on as a cheerleader my freshman year! My family still has a great love for the sport and I married a fan, too. My husband doesn’t care to watch most sports, but he loves basketball! To enjoy the games this March, I made some Bacon Cream Cheese Dip and FREE Basketball Snack Printables. Because I love you guys, you’re getting a two-fer with this post…FREE Printables AND a yummy recipe!!
I’m in love with these cute printables. I put them together within minutes with my Silhouette, but you can create them without a fancy cutting machine, too 🙂
To make these, you’ll need:
- My FREE Printables, for personal use only
- Heavy card stock
- Silhouette Cameo or scissors
- Black Vinyl (or a black sharpie…whatever is easier!)
- Cellophane bags (3.5″ across)
- Stapler
- Tape
- Glue Gun
- First, download and unzip the file. Next, you’ll print and cut it out. If you do not have a Silhouette, make a hole in the middle of the printable with an Xacto Knife, then cut it out with scissors.
- Next, fold the printable at the black line.
- Fill the cellophane bag with the orange treat of your choice (I used new Cheez-It Crunch’d and Cheez-It Grooves)
- Fold the bag at the top and staple it shut.
- Hold the bag in place with some tape.
- Add the black vinyl basketball lines or draw them on with a sharpie.
- Hot glue the edge of the printable, then fold it closed.
The Bacon Cream Cheese Dip is TO DIE FOR people and it pairs perfectly with these Cheez-It snacks.

Basketball is the one sport that I don’t get bored watching…so I won’t mind having the party over at my house. Plus, it brings back memories of watching my brothers play. You wouldn’t guess it by looking at me…but I can get pretty riled up watching the game! Good times, good times…
How will you prepare for the big games? Lots of snacks and printables? Hanging out with friends?
