Looking for a great game for you and your friends? Here you can find out how to make the great game idea "Don't drop anything" from simple cardboard rolls, bamboo skewers and hanging hooks and a wooden dice. Game idea: Roll the dice and remove one bamboo skewer in the colour you have rolled from the tower, trying not to drop any hanging hooks.

First, use the awl to poke several holes in a cardboard roll. Make sure that 2 holes are exactly opposite each other and at the same height. In our example, we have drilled 12 pairs of holes in the cardboard roll.

In the next step, choose the largest of the hand drill set to widen the holes so that you can push bamboo skewers through the pairs of holes. You can use tweezers scissors and fine sandpaper to remove the excess paper fringes on the inside and outside of the cardboard roll.
Then cut off the laces of the bamboo skewers with the side cutter (approx. 2 - 3 cm) and sand the new ends smooth. Cut out a rounded opening measuring 3 x 3 cm at the point where the loops fall out at the bottom and then sand it smooth.

Now make a bevel inside the roll from craft cardboard sheets so that the loops can really fall out of the game later. Draw a circle the same size as the opening in the cardboard roll and, when cutting it to size, make a tab for sticking it to the bottom of the cardboard roll.

Now paint the cardboard roll in your favourite colour and the ends (2 cm) of 4 skewers each in the same colour (12 skewers in 3 colours, including 4 skewers in one colour).

To start the game, push all the painted bamboo skewers into the holes provided and insert the eyelets from above. Now the dice are rolled and a skewer of the same colour must be pulled out. This is done alternately until all the eyelets have fallen through. The winner is the player with the fewest eyelets falling out.
