Tools and raw materials needed to make hand-made badminton:
An empty beverage bottle, two fruit foam net covers, a rubber band, and a glass marble
Steps of small handmade production methods:
1. Take an empty beverage bottle and cut off the upper half.
2. Use scissors to cut to the neck of the bottle, cut into 8 parts, and cut each part into a petal shape of the same size.
3. Put the fruit foam net outside the bottle and secure it with a rubber band.
4. Take another foam net, wrap it around a glass ball, and plug it into the mouth of the bottle, leaving about 1 cm exposed.
5. Wrap half a table tennis ball around the mouth of the bottle, cut the four sides into whiskers, cover the mouth of the bottle and secure it with a rubber band, so you have a badminton.
