Description Some Pokéballs I made for my Team Magma (Pokémon) cosplay/costume.

So far I have made:
- 3 normal
- 2 Ultra
- 1 Great
- 1 Magma


Used: 7 x 3in Polystiren Balls
Scissors to dent the 'black and red' details.
Black, Red, Blue, White and Yellow Paint + Paint Brushes
PVA Glue
Sand Paper
Foam
Insulation Tape
Double Sided Tape



I had a bunch of trouble at first, the paint wouldn't stick. I tried mixing it wih glue but still no luck (except on two of the balls, and the red paint stuck - random).


A HUGE HUGE HUGE HUGE THANK YOU to - for the advice, and helping me make them work!! YAY!!

You should do a full in depth tutorial on them, they seem like a great idea on people who are cosplaying pokemon and need poke balls.

That looks cool! It would be really fun to put them on a shelf and see how long it took visitors to say something about them. ^^

If I gave it a go, I'd give it a couple of coats of paint and then put some gloss on it to make it shiny.
