Fun at home! DIY bowling ideas

lighterutatane
A person from the melodic hardcore boom generation who loves music, photography, and eating. I’ve been going to live houses for over 20 years. I’m at the age where summer festivals are starting to feel tough physically. I sometimes try shooting live photos and videos for MVs. I’m not great at English, so I often listen to straightforward Japanese rock that hits directly, but if someone recommends something, I’ll listen to anything—Western or Japanese—broadly and casually. I like cooking while listening to music; it’s a nice way to relieve stress.

Bowling is a ball game loved by people of all ages.

However, it’s not always easy for young children or older adults to make their way to a bowling alley and enjoy it.

In particular, many seniors—who lived through the bowling boom—may be thinking they’d like to try it again.

This article introduces handmade bowling ideas that you can enjoy at home or in care facilities without going to a bowling alley.

Many of these ideas are fun both to make as a craft and to play with, so please enjoy the making process as well.

Put a marble inside

Among the many DIY bowling sets you can make with plastic bottles or paper cups, adding marbles is highly recommended.

The reason is that marbles act as weights, giving the pins just the right amount of heft.

By adjusting the number of marbles, you can make the pins harder or easier to knock down, tailoring the difficulty to the player’s age and build.

When making pins with plastic bottles, try leaving the outside undecorated and using colorful marbles inside—the pins will look cute even with minimal decoration! Be sure to make good use of marbles in your homemade bowling set.
