Foosball Game

Challenge Dad to a foosball competition this Father's day with our DIY Foosball Game!
  • Step 1 Construct your diorama box and secure together using a CleverPatchâ„¢ Glue stick. Allow to dry.
  • Step 2 Measure 5cm in from the front window of the diorama box and cut the front window off using scissors. Adult supervision is recommended when using scissors.
  • Step 3 Along the longer sides of the box, measure 5cm inwards and 2cm downwards from the edges. Use a hole punch or scissors to create 2 holes on both sides, making sure they are aligned.
  • Step 4 Measure a rectangle 5cm x 6cm in the bottom/centre of the diorama box on both of the shorter sides. Use a hobby knife to cut out the rectangles you have drawn on each side. Adult supervision is recommended when using a hobby knife.
  • Step 5 Decorate your diorama box using CleverPatchâ„¢ Acrylic Paint and Glitter Washi Tape. Allow to dry.
  • Step 6 Tape 2 wooden dowels together. Repeat so you have another 2 dowels taped together. Decorate 4 wooden pegs using CleverPatchâ„¢ Acrylic Paint and wiggle eyes. The pegs will be your team players! Allow to dry.
  • Step 7 Slide a dowel through the hole in one side of the diorama box, then thread the 2 red pegs onto the dowel and the dowel through the other side of the box. Make sure the pegs don't slide around on the dowel. You may need to use glue dots to hold them in place. Repeat for the other dowel and blue pegs at the other end of the box.
  • Step 8 Place wooden spools on the end of each dowel to use as handles. Place a large pom pom in the centre and your game of foosball is ready to play!
