Here are three examples for this Instructable that some of my students made, but I asked them to ad something of thier own, to make it interesting.

My first student aded wheels and a ring (to tie a rope), and made the perfect pen box.

My second student made a little box for these small scrap stuff that you get when you use a pencil sharpener.

My third student made a stand for a phone in the back of the ball.
