AN INDOOR SKITTLES SET YOU CAN MAKE YOURSELF FROM CARDBOARD
2023
This page contains all the information you need to assemble your cardboard skittles set.
Fold the sheet of cardboard, keeping the triangular notch at the bottom right.
Fix the tape at the other end, right across the cardboard.
Turn the cardboard sheet over, keeping the notch at the bottom left.
Roll the cardboard sheet up, keeping it tightly pressed. This will make the skittle more stable when you're playing.
Use the tape to hold the cardboard in place and then carefully cut off the excess and follow steps 1 to 6 with the six remaining sheets.
CUTTING THE SKITTLES INTO SHAPE
Only an adult should perform this step.
Please use protective gloves and a knife with a stiff blade and teeth. A bread knife, steak knife or hacksaw blade will do the job.
Before you start, put the throwing stick to one side.It's easy to spot. It's the smallest roll and the only one that doesn't have a notch cut into it.
Cut the roll along the marker line, to create a 45° angle.Cutting each roll will create two skittles.
Cut the other five rolls. You will be left with 12 skittles in all.
CUSTOMISING YOUR SKITTLE SET
We recommend you number your skittles from 1 to 12. It'll make it easier to count the points. You can use felt, paint or stickers to do this. Let your imagination run riot.
Use the box to store your skittles set after you've finished playing.
PLAYING SKITTLES
This cardboard set is for indoor use.
Follow the numbers to set the 12 skittles up.
Players stand between two and four metres away and try to knock the skittles over with the throwing stick. The aim of the game: first to 50 points!
