I'm back with a follow-up post on how I made my magnetic game practice cones. I'm sure with some practice one could use larger circle's and make these to use as party favors or as decorations for a Bob the Builder Birthday party!
Supplies
1 3/8 inch circle punch
1/2 inch circle punch
7/8 inch circle punch
cardstock of choice
Gum Paste Glue (BookBinding type glue)
Quick Drying White glue (not shown) | |
Step 1:
Punch a 1/2 inch circle in your paper. Using the back side of your 1 3/8 inch punch as a window, center the 1/2 inch hole in the center and punch out.
Punch a 7/8 inch circle and set aside. | |
Step 2:
Cut a small piece out of the ring. | |
Step 3:
Using the blunt edge of scissors gently curl the ring. | |
Step 4:
Pinch one of the cut edge of the ring and twist it into a tight spiral. When you release it the twist will become more loose. |
|
Step 5:
Apply white glue to the outer cut edge and then tighten the spiral as you adhere the outer edge.
TIP: Use the 7/8-inch circle as a guide to the size of the spiral's base. |
|
Step 6:
Apply white glue from the inside of the spiral's base to the outer edge careful not to get too much around the outside. |
|
Step 7:
Press the spiral base down on the 7/8 inch circle and tap to start gravity's work on the glue. Set aside and repeat these steps until you have the amount of practice cones you need. |

Practice drill is all set up and ready to go!
