Supply List:
-shoebox
-small wooden dowels
-clothespins
-utility knife
-Sharpie Marker
-ruler
-hot glue gun and glue
-wrapping paper to cover the box
-spray paint
-clear tape
-ping pong balls
In the picture above you can see where I have made the holes on one side of the box and marked the other side of the box for the next set of holes.
5. Put the dowels in and the clothespins on where you want. Mark where the clothespins are because you have to take it all apart in order to glue and paint it.
6. Hot glue the clothespins on the dowels.
8. Cover the box with wrapping paper. The girls picked this out too.
9. Cut out a large “goal” on either end of the box.
10. Put the dowels back in and drop in a ping pong ball.
Now you have an adorable kid-sized foosball “table”. My girls LOVE it. Not only do they love it because they can play foosball with each other, but because they got to help make it.

Thanks, Amy.
This is so fun! Thanks for sharing your amazing idea!
I am so glad you like it. You are very welcome!
OMG, Becky! This is GENIUS!!! Def going to “PIN” this as I want everyone, eventually, to see this!!! SO cute!
Haha! You are so sweet! Thank you.
Great idea! Silly question, but how did you get the dowels back through the holes, with the pegs glued on?
Great question. I actually put them in from the inside of the box. I slid one end in then the other. Does that make sense?
This is such a fantastic idea! I love it!!!
This is an awesome idea! Thank you so much!
I think I’m going to do this for my grandson for Christmas, but as he tends to be rather rambunctious I think I’ll use a plastic storage box in place of the shoe box and add another dowel to each end since he’ll be six by then and mostly playing with his sister who will be eight.
Wow it is so creative…i want to do it for my school project…thnx for this mrs becky?
Im from malaysia?
I realize that this is an old post but I am making this for my nephew for Christmas. I am curious as to how you went about wrapping yours.
I love this idea and can’t wait to try. I’m stuck on just one thing though: What was the diameter size of the dowels you used?
