Bimini Ring Games make a wonderful Christmas Gift and Stocking Stuffer. They
provide hours and hours of fun filled action and entertainment and are
surprisingly affordable to make. Prices for pre-assembled games range from under
$10.00 to over $200.00, many of them are manufactured in the US while others,
like the multiplayer games, are from China. With the help of this article you'll
learn how you can make a Bimini Ring Game for under $4.00.
Making a Bimini Ring Game is easy - you can find all the parts required at most hardware stores - If you don't mind purchasing more than you need, or if you are planning on making several games - the hardware you purchase at the local store will work great.
Here's where to start...
You'll need to purchase the following items:
You'll need to visit your local Hardware store - Ace; Home Depot or Lowes will have nearly everything you need under one roof. Some of the items you need are only sold in packages of multiple items - meaning you'll be paying for hardware you wont be needing. The hooks come in a package of 20 for around $9.00, the rings are usually come two to a pack for $1.50, the plastic anchors are 100 to a pack for $4.00 and the larger plastic anchors are usually $4.00 for 50 or so. The small screw eye hardware is about $5.00 for 100 ea. and a package of string will run around $4.00
All the hardware will run around $27.00, but if you buy 10 more rings for $17.00 you could potentially build 12 games for around $44.00 which is less than $4.00 each! You can probably think of at least a dozen friends that would enjoy owning a game - and these games make a great Stocking Stuffer for Christmas or for the traditional Chinese Gift Exchange games at Christmas parties.
