How to Make a Marble Trap

Marbles is a classic game played by children older than three. There are multiple games involving marbles; one that requires a marble trap is played by trying to trap marbles that are rolled toward you. The player who has caught the most marbles by the end of the game is the winner. Making a custom marble trap is a fancy way to add pizzazz to complement the dazzling array of marbles in a collection.
