Ring Toss Game: Cut Hole in Box

Video Transcript

"The first thing we're going to do to make our ring toss game is to take the paper towel rolls, and put them on the shoe box; to measure a hole that we want to cut inside the shoe box. It's important to note that you should put the shoe box upside down, because the bottom of the shoe box is going to be a lot more stable than trying to put it into the cover of the shoe box; which moves around. So, turn the shoe box upside down, and mark a hole the diameter of the paper towel roll. Then we're going to go ahead and cut it; starting in the middle, and then just working around; trying not to make it too big because we want the paper towel roll to fit in nice and snug. Make your hole with a sharp object, and then take your scissors, and work your way out, and cut around to the hole; again; being very careful not to go too far outside of the markings that you made. Once the roll is inside, we're going to be putting some masking tape around it; to hold it nice and secure. Even with the masking tape, it will be much better if you can get it in there from the get go with a nice, snug fit, so cut around the hole. It's also important to note that the shoe box is good to use because we can put things inside the shoe box if we need to; to weigh it down. If we want to put some heavy stones, or whatever; just to make it more stable, then that's also a possibility. That's why it's good to use a shoe box for this. Once you've cut your hole, just put the roll inside, and make sure that it has a nice snug fit; that it goes in, and then we'll be ready to attach the paper rolls together to finish off the sticks. Now I've shown you how to cut a hole in the bottom of the shoe box to hold the paper towel rolls for the ring toss game."
