Foosball Table Cardboard

Building this was an interesting thing to do it through us many curve balls trying to figure out how to be able to spin the players to hit the ball to get the ball to go in the goal. the more we did with this project made it so much fun we were able to keep it small and compact to fit in small places to keep it so you can bring it to family functions or camping, we wanted to challenge ourselves in making this so we could use our brains and make this work with everyday items you could have on hand so you can make it at home for your kids or just to have.

Supplies

Three boxes

Masking tape

3 feet of metal rod

The Start

Take two of the boxes and cut them on the edge so you have a flat piece

Cut it in half so you have a side and a flat part for the next step.

The Ends

Take the boxes you cut and fold the bottom to tabs up and bend it up and fold it to make a big L and take it so it doesn't fall apart.

You're going to do this step twice.

The Base

Take the two big L's that you made and put them together and and tape it all the way around so you have a nice solid bond with the two cardboard so they don't break apart so you can use it longer.

Making the Goals

Take a piece of cardboard and make a 2"x 14" x2

You will want to cut a slit in the box to slide it through once that is done take your tape and tape the inside and tape on the outside where the goal meets the box to have a strong bond.

Bottom of the Goals

Trace the goal on a piece of cardboard to make the bottom of the goal. Cut the bottom out and tape the bottom to the goal as shown.

Making the Handles

To make these fit in the box we just took a knife and used it to make a big enough hole to put the rode through on both sides and we taped the ends on the rod so you know which one you control on your side.

The Players

Making the players we measure a piece of cardboard to where it was low enough, but not hitting the bottom of the box. We put one player for goalie and two players for offensive players. When making the players bend the top of the cardboard around the rod and tape the top and make sure the player won't fall. The players will also act as the stop so the rod does not fall out. You might have to adjust the players to where the rod won't fall out.
