How to make a ball.

2
00:00:07,000 --> 00:00:11,000
Hello and welcome. Today we're going to make a ball for the game bottle ball.

3
00:00:11,000 --> 00:00:16,000
What you're going to need is you're going to need some balloons with the tops cut off

4
00:00:16,000 --> 00:00:21,000
and then you're also going to need some scissors and some old newspaper.

5
00:00:21,000 --> 00:00:26,000
To make the ball you will need three layers of newspaper

6
00:00:26,000 --> 00:00:30,000
but you need to make sure that you squeeze them really tight

7
00:00:30,000 --> 00:00:34,000
or else they will not fit into the balloon.

8
00:00:34,000 --> 00:00:40,000
So after you have put the first roll of newspaper, you put the second over the top.

9
00:00:40,000 --> 00:00:43,000
Again, making sure it's very, very tight.

10
00:00:43,000 --> 00:00:47,000
And then finally, the third and final layer.

11
00:00:47,000 --> 00:00:51,000
Again, squishing and pressing down as much as possible

12
00:00:51,000 --> 00:00:54,000
so that your ball is nice and compact.

13
00:00:54,000 --> 00:00:57,000
Now the next part can be tricky.

14
00:00:57,000 --> 00:01:01,000
It is recommended that you stretch the balloon first

15
00:01:01,000 --> 00:01:04,000
so that you can wrap the balloon around the newspaper.

16
00:01:04,000 --> 00:01:09,000
If the balloon is too small, then you might find that your balloon will snap

17
00:01:09,000 --> 00:01:12,000
while you're trying to stretch it over.

18
00:01:12,000 --> 00:01:15,000
So stretch the balloon first to warm it up

19
00:01:15,000 --> 00:01:21,000
and then you can wrap the balloon round like a glove.

20
00:01:21,000 --> 00:01:25,000
Next you have the second balloon.

21
00:01:25,000 --> 00:01:30,000
Making sure that you've stretched it first or else it's going to break.

22
00:01:30,000 --> 00:01:36,000
And then you can start to feel how the ball will be at the end.

23
00:01:36,000 --> 00:01:40,000
And finally, you have your final balloon.

24
00:01:40,000 --> 00:01:44,000
Okay, so make sure that you choose the colour that you want your ball to be

25
00:01:44,000 --> 00:01:48,000
as this will be on the outside of the ball.

26
00:01:52,000 --> 00:01:57,000
Make sure that you trim off any excess balloon at the top.

27
00:01:57,000 --> 00:02:00,000
But only do this at the end.

28
00:02:00,000 --> 00:02:04,000
You do not want to cut too much of the balloon off.

29
00:02:04,000 --> 00:02:08,000
But here, it gives you two different colours on your ball.

30
00:02:08,000 --> 00:02:16,000
If you cannot make a ball, then you can use or substitute it with a normal PE ball.

31
00:02:17,000 --> 00:02:20,000
But where's the fun in that?
