And now it’s time to give you some tips on how to assemble one yourself.
**********************************************************
ASSEMBLY TIPS:
Since it is meant to be a simple box, the papercraft is separated in the upper and under part of the Poke ball, as well as the stand.
Both parts of the Poke ball are best made from top to bottom. Meaning you start by making the outer red shell of the ball first, and only then gluing on the middle edge part with the round buttons.
The buttons in the middle as well as the top are 3D, so best way for those is that you do those separately and glue them inside by wedging them inside the hole at the top or gluing them on the surface in the middle button.
The stand is also a simple form, that is best done by starting in the middle part, gluing on the edges, and lasty closing it at the bottom with the flat part.
And there you go. If you build it correctly, you have yourself a Poke ball box that can be opened and closed and used as a simple storage for smaller candy or something else that is lighter.
If you want to make it really sturdy however *pro-tip: You can enforce the inner part of both halves with simple wood glue and some tissues or toilet paper. - Mix 2/3 wood glue with 1/3 of water and use a brush to apply in on the inner surface of the ball (making sure not to make it too wet or too thick, so it doesn’t start to drip on the outer side of the box). Once the surface is still wet, apply ripped parts of the tissue on the glue, brush it over with the brush and glue, and do this on the whole inner surface. Once it is dry, it becomes as hard as plastic and you can use it as any normal storage box.
