How to Make a Bakugan Holder

Bakugans are small, collectible toys that are used to play a game with others who also collect Bakugans. The toys are spheres that range from 1 inch to 3 inch in diameter when fully closed. They work sort of like Transformers that open up to reveal a creature. The diminutive size of the Bakugans makes them difficult to organize without storage that is separate from other toys; they easily become lost in toy boxes. You can create your own custom storage container for your Bakugans, though, with materials around the house.

Things You'll Need

Empty egg cartons (1 for every 12 Bakugans)
Scissors
Craft paints
Hot glue gun
Plastic tote

Instructions

- 1
  Cut the lid off of an empty egg carton, and trim excess cardboard from around the sides with scissors.
- 2
  Paint the egg cartons any color you like, or leave them plain. This is a fun step for kids, so consider allowing them to paint their own.
- 3
  Open your plastic tote and lay the egg carton inside. Decide if the egg carton will fit the way it is, or if it will need to be cut.
- 4
  Cut the egg carton, if necessary, between the egg indents.
- 5
  Apply a bead of hot glue along the inside of the plastic tote and press the egg carton into place firmly. Leave at least enough room in the plastic tote for a larger Bakugan to sit without the egg carton in the way (about 2-by-2-inches is fine).
- 6
  Place your smaller Bakugans into the egg indents, and the larger ones in the spaces alongside the egg cartons.
