Introduction: Mini Ping Pong Altoid Game
I made these mini games entirely out of paper to begin with, and it worked out great. Now everything but clay and wood is made of paper. The net specifically.
It is really fun to make and play. Easy and cheap. And it is very durable as well

1. First cut square out f 17 mm long piece of paper to make the shapes of a net
2. Cut a 5.5 mm long piece of straw com an average sized straw
3. Cut two 9mm long wooden dowels
4. Form two stands
Roll up a small piece of clay

Smash the clay down to about 1mm in height
You put the poster glue on the bottom of the stand once it has hardened
