Make a Pokéball

To make a Pokéball, you will need:

- a polystyrene ball Ø 7 cm

- an elastic band Ø 6 cm

- self-adhesive soft rubber sheets 22 x 15 cm

- acrylic paint and a brush

- a ruler

- a pencil

- a pair of scissors

Place the elastic band around the polystyrene ball, at its center.

This elastic band will help to define the two areas to be painted.

Paint the top part of the ball with red acrylic paint and let it dry for about 15 minutes.

Then paint the bottom part white.

Once the paint is dry, carefully remove the elastic.

Cut a strip of 22 cm x 1 cm from a sheet of self-adhesive black soft rubber.

Remove the protective film located behind the tape and then stick it around the ball, along the line separating the red and white.

Cut a few millimeters of tape to prevent the two ends from overlapping.

Cut a circle with a diameter of 3 cm from this same sheet of self-adhesive black flexible rubber.

Stick the soft black rubber disc onto the strip to cover the joint between the two ends.

Cut a circle with a diameter of 1.5 cm from a sheet of self-adhesive white foam rubber, then glue the white circle to the center of the black circle.

You just made your first Pokéball. Well done!

Mix colors and glue pieces of soft rubber in different colors to create your custom Pokéballs.
