The basketball hoop is a fun and interactive model. Once made, just crumple some paper into a ball and start shooting (you can also make a crumpled ball). It can be made from either origami paper or printer paper. If you make it from origami paper, it won't be as tall, and won't stand up as easily, but it will still work. I would recommend making it from printer paper though. Also, it might fall over when being used, so just put a book or something behind it and it will stay up fine.
Step 1: If you're using printer paper, orient it vertically. If you're using origami paper, make a waterbomb base and then skip to step 9.
Step 2: Valley fold the top left corner over (the top edge should align with the right side)
Step 3: Unfold
Step 4: Valley fold the top right corner over to the left edge
Step 5: Unfold and turn the paper over
Step 6: After you've turned the paper over, fold the top edge down so the creases lie on top of each other.
Step 7: Unfold and turn the paper back over
Step 8: Take the two points sticking out on each side and bring them down to the center...
...and squash the top flat. It gives you a waterbomb base on the top of the paper.
Step 9: Mountain fold the top point backwards
Step 10: Take the two 'wings' of the front of your waterbomb base and slide one into the other. This forms the actual hoop.
Step 11: Valley fold the left and right edges into the center
Step 12: Unfold the edges partway. This will make your hoop stand up on it's own. Your basketball hoop is now completed! Just crumple a smaller piece of paper into a ball and start shooting.

Origami Stingray
The stingray is a relatively easy origami model that looks very realistic. It is also one of my favorite models. It does take a pair of squash folds and a reverse fold, but a beginner should be able to do it with a little practice. Step 1: Fold a kite base Step 2: Valley fold the far left point over so the white triangle is completely covered Step 3: Unfold all the folds on the paper Step 4: Valley fold the left point back down at the same angle, and then fold the other two flaps back down on top of it Step 5: Valley fold edge AB so it aligns with the center, then valley fold edge BC so it also aligns with the center Step 6: Unfold the bottom part and reverse fold the flap in by opening the flap and pressing the paper down so it hides the flap underneath It should look like this: Step 7: Repeat step 6 on the top part Step 8: Valley fold the far right point over (make sure to have it go further

The Froebel Variations
Friedrich Froebel was a German who laid the foundation for kindergarten. In his curriculum were paper folding lessons. He created patterns from a pinwheel base, which have now been dubbed Froebel variations. I will demonstrate three versions, but there are other variations that can be folded, so feel free to experiment. Here are the three versions I will be teaching: Before you can start, create a pinwheel base , except do not preform the final step. It will need to look like the photo below: Now take each of the points in the air and fold them down flat Once it looks like this you can begin Yellow: Step 1: (working with just the top left corner) valley fold the center point to the top corner Step 2: Now valley fold it back partway, to start crimp/pleat folding it Step 3: Continue to pleat fold the flap until the tip lines up with the rest Like this: Step 4: Repeat on the other 3 sides and the first version is d

Method 1
In order to make such an interesting accessory for a girl, prepare the following materials for work:
Old books or magazines.
PVA glue.
Sharp scissors.
Stationery knife.
Fine sandpaper.
Nail polish (transparent).
Brush.
Compass.
Ruler.
Simple pencil.
Progress of work
So, all the necessary materials are in stock, it remains to perform the following actions:
Draw a sketch of the future product on a landscape sheet of paper. First you need to measure the thickness of the child's finger, and only then draw a circle of the desired diameter.
Important! If your daughter already has a ring, you can circle it. If you are making an accessory in this way for the first time, try to keep the sketch as simple as possible - with experience you will be able to make more complex variations.
Take the prepared magazine and tear it into separate sheets.
Attach a template for the future ring, circle it. You will need a fairly large number of such details, so it is recommended to fill in several pages with such strokes, and after that proceed to the next step.
Cut out drawn elements. It is better to cut the perimeter of the ring with scissors, and the inside with a clerical knife.
Important! The thickness of the ring will depend on how many details you cut out.
Now you can move on to gluing the paper ring with your own hands. To do this, the workpieces need to be glued to each other. The surface of one element must be lubricated with the prepared glue, and then put another part on it.
Important! The overlay should be even so that no sloppy shifts form.
Press down the paper ring with a press. It can be a heavy book or an iron.
Let the product dry itself.
Important! Do not dry the ring near the stove, as it may change its shape and color.
After complete drying, sand the product with fine sandpaper.
Important! To protect the ring from premature deformation, apply a clear nail polish to it.
Baby paper ring is ready.
Important! If you change the dimensions of the sketch, you can make a basketball hoop out of paper for the children's room in the same way. However, it will take much more time and effort to make such an accessory for the room.

Scissors.
Laundry clips.
Progress of work
To make such a ring, you must follow a simple step-by-step algorithm:
Cut a ring 3.5 cm wide from the prepared sleeve.
Cut it in half so that you get two rings.
Cut them crosswise.
Measure one of the blanks on the child's finger.
Glue the edges of the ring together using PVA glue.
Important! In order for the sleeve to stick together well, pinch them with clothespins and leave until the adhesive is completely dry.
Cut out three strips of colored paper or cardboard, approx. 4 mm wide.
Apply PVA glue to the ends of each strip, glue them along the sleeve ring. You do not need to tighten them too much, or, on the contrary, make them too loose.
To make the paper ring beautiful, cut out strips of colored paper of the same thickness as the previous ones.
Insert one strip across the ring under the middle glued strip.
Trim edges.
Insert the second strip under the first and third strip.
Decorate the whole ring in this way. You should end up with a checkerboard pattern.
Fold the ends of the finished strips inside the sleeve ring.
Glue the second blank of the sleeve ring inside the blank, press with clothespins for strong bonding.

Basketball hoop - how to make a stand with a backboard with your own hands
Love basketball and want to make a hoop? I wanted to make it myself, not buy it, and I ended up making it. It's pretty cheap, especially if you have some of the stuff you need to assemble.
Let's start assembling a basketball hoop with our own hands.
Step 1: Shape the Ring
The first thing you need is a ring, I made it with 12mm rod, but it doesn't have to be that size. The standard diameter of a basketball hoop is 450 mm.
To make it flat you need something to wrap it around, this thing should be about 400mm in diameter.
I found an old car rim of the right size, you will need to clamp it to the table with a clamp using a block of wood.
As shown in photo 2, place another clamp a little further from the first with a rod between them.
As shown in photo 3, slowly wrap the rod around the disk, once you wrap the rod and its edges overlap, cut off the straight ends.
Use a clamp to press the ends together, then weld them together.
To complete this part, place the ring on the ground and straighten out all the curves.
Step 2: Frame
Bend a piece of flat metal, mine was 4mm thick.
Weld it to a flat spot in the ring.
Cut two rods 320 mm long.
Weld them as shown in the photo.
Drill four holes to match your existing bolts.
If you need a netball ring, you can simply attach it to the pole and skip the rest of the steps.
Step 3: Mesh Staples (Optional)

Do this step if you need mesh. If you need a network, you will have to buy it. This step is not as difficult as it seems.
cut 12 pieces of wire 90 mm long (I would recommend making a few spare parts, as they are easy to ruin.)
bend them in the middle (it doesn't matter if the tips are the same length)
clamp the wire in a vise with a steel rod at one end
bend wire over rod
repeat this with all parts of
retighten the wire wrapped around the stem (see photo)
bend it
repeat with all parts
re-clamp the wire wrapped around the rod
bend it (at this point you can't just remove the wire from the rod - you will need to slide it to one of its edges and remove it from the edge)
repeat with all parts of
divide into 12 parts and weld on the brackets
Step 4: Backboard
Cut the board to size. My board does not fit the full size of basketball boards. (the second picture shows the dimensions of a standard shield).
My measurements are 1100mm wide, 700mm high and 25mm thick. (You don't have to be that size.)
Step 5: Paint the shield
Once you've drawn all the lines on the shield, lay masking tape over them. If you try, everything will look neat.
If you are using MDF, you will need to take care to protect the edges from moisture (as shown in photo 2).
Carefully paint around the area around the masking tape.
Remove masking tape after enough coats of paint have been applied and the board looks finished.
Step 6: Paint the ring
First you need to sand the metal. I used a grinding disc on a grinder.
The ring must not be black or white, it must stand out from the shield. Usually the ring is painted orange or red.
It is also one of my favorite models. It does take a pair of squash folds and a reverse fold, but a beginner should be able to do it with a little practice. Step 1: Fold a kite base Step 2: Valley fold the far left point over so the white triangle is completely covered Step 3: Unfold all the folds on the paper Step 4: Valley fold the left point back down at the same angle, and then fold the other two flaps back down on top of it Step 5: Valley fold edge AB so it aligns with the center, then valley fold edge BC so it also aligns with the center Step 6: Unfold the bottom part and reverse fold the flap in by opening the flap and pressing the paper down so it hides the flap underneath It should look like this: Step 7: Repeat step 6 on the top part Step 8: Valley fold the far right point over (make sure to have it go further
