  • hot glue
  • paint
  • 2 dowel sticks
  • toilet paper rolls (optional)

Cut Lid Off Box

Pretty easy step. An xacto knife is easier than scissors.

Make Marble Holes

Cut six Marble holes into the top lid you just separated from your box. Make sure that they are big enough for marbles to fall through.

Make Your Table Top

Use hot glue to insert the top into your box about half an inch down. If you need to use toilet paper rolls to balance the top while gluing. (I was able to do it with out them.) Also make sure the top is level so the marbles do not roll away.

Paint and Add Details

You can paint your pool table however you like. I personally chose a traditional style of black with a white stripe. Leave the top of pool table unpainted.

Finishing the Details

Glue a piece of felt inside box. Make sure to trace and cut holes before gluing in. Add a couple of wooden dowels, 11 marbles, and your ready to play!
