Monday Crafts: bilboquet made with recycled objects

bilboquet

It is always rewarding to make new things by recycling objects that would be otherwise regarded as waste. It is exactly what we did this week for our Monday crafts appointment. We made the ancient game of bilboquet, the classic cup and ball connected by a piece of string using a plastic water bottle and old newspapers. To make this basic game as well as a plastic bottle andĀ old newspapers, we used masking tape, a piece of string 50 cm long, acrylic paint and colouring pens.

It is very easy to make and a lot of fun to play.
