- In the prepared box, it is necessary to cut off the closing parts. Walls can be cut to size.
- Mark white cardboard for decoration of the bottom. Do it yourself, foosball out of the box will therefore look natural, like purchased.
- From the cut parts of the cardboard, you need to cut different strips for marking the playing field. They should be glued to white cardboard, which is covered with a bottom.
- From the inside and outside, additionally fasten the bottom with tape.
- From the small boxes, make the legs for the "stadium". To do this, place long boxes, for example from under tea bags, place on both sides of the workpiece, parallel to each other.

- Bake the round parts in the oven for hardening. It will be soccer balls.
- Draw a player template on paper. Transfer it to cardboard. The height of the figure should not exceed 10 cm. Thus, 16 parts should be prepared.
- Glue a strip of corrugated cardboard and the second part of the player to one part of the figure. So, we get voluminous “footballers”. The appearance of the players can be decorated with foil.
- Place the sticks evenly on the field so that the "strung" details of the little men do not interfere with each other.
- Punch holes in the cardboard walls, draw sticks into them and fasten on each player. Do-it-yourself foosball is practically done, only a small part of the final work remains.
