SingakwenzaWhat you need
- 5 bread bags or 1 plastic bag and damp magazine pages, or newspaper, or chip packets) to make a small ball
- 20 bread bags to make a soccer ball
- netlon bag from onions or tomatoes (optional)
- scissors
How you make it
Put all the bread bags in one bread bag
Scrunch each bread bag one at a time (or scrunch your damp paper into a ball) and put it inside a bread bag.
Squeeze as much of the air as you can out of the bag.
Push the inside bags (or paper) as far down as you can to make a small, firm, round ball.
Close the opening of the bag
The less air you have, the less likely the ball is to pop.
Tie a knot in the bag.
Make sure that you pull it right down onto the ball to stop the air from getting in.
Cut off the tail, right next to the knot.
Optional: Turn your netlon bag inside out, so that the knot is on the inside.
The netlon bag is optional, but it does make your ball stronger and less likely to pop.
Put the ball in the net so that the knot of the ball is on the side.
Cut your netlon into 2 equal pieces, right up to the edge of the ball.
Don’t pop your ball!
Tie the two pieces together with 3 knots to make it very secure.
Cut the ends off and your ball is ready to play with!
How you use it
