How do you make a bakugan?

To make a bakugan, you will need the following materials:

* 2 pieces of 3mm thick EVA foam

* A ball of sculpey or other oven-bake clay

* A sharp hobby knife

* A cutting mat

* A rolling pin

* A wire brush

* Sandpaper

* Acrylic paint

* A paintbrush

* A sealant

Step 1: Create the body

1. Cut out a circle from each piece of EVA foam, about 2 inches in diameter.

2. Roll out the sculpey to about 1/4 inch thickness.

3. Cut out a circle from the sculpey, slightly smaller than the EVA foam circles.

4. Place the sculpey circle between the two EVA foam circles and press down firmly.

5. Use the hobby knife to trim any excess sculpey around the edges.

Step 2: Add the details

1. Use the wire brush to add texture to the EVA foam circles.

2. Sand the sculpey until smooth.

3. Use the hobby knife to carve details into the sculpey, such as eyes, a mouth, and spikes.

4. Paint the bakugan using acrylic paint.

5. Let the paint dry completely.

6. Seal the bakugan with a sealant to protect it from wear and tear.

Step 3: Add the ball bearings

1. Use a drill to make a hole in the center of the bakugan, about 1/4 inch in diameter.

2. Insert the ball bearings into the hole.

3. Glue the ball bearings in place.

Step 4: Enjoy your Bakugan!

Your bakugan is now complete! You can play with it by rolling it around on the ground or by transforming it into its closed form.
