One way is to take some socks and roll them into a ball. Other than that, you'll have to get pretty creative with it.

Question

How can I make the net with tape?

Community Answer

You could use duct tape and fold it the same way as the paper is folded. Making a net out of tape would be difficult though.

Question

Would this work to hang over trash cans to get people to stop littering?

Community Answer

Yes, probably. You might still get some litter around the trash can area from people who missed and did not go back to pick up their trash, but that's better than trash being left strewn all around any given area.

Yes, you can! But don't blow up the balloon too much or it won't fit through the hoop.

Can I use a regular basketball with this hoop?

Only if the hoop is large enough for the regular basketball to fit in. Otherwise, the regular ball might break the hoop.

Question

Can I use a hot glue gun instead of tape to stick the wire hanger to the cardboard?

Community Answer

You could most likely do that, but you would need a lot of hot glue because its is very easy for the hanger (or whatever material you are using for the rim) to fall off, depending on how heavy it is.
