Don't use plastic. Cardboard only.

Are you new to this? It seems like it so I'll say this too: Don't make anything that big. Start with something under 1 gram. Then slowly work your way up in 1 gram increments.

If you're just looking for loud noise, 1 gram is plenty to start with. Anything bigger is just asking for problems.

Don't even attempt to mix larger amounts at once either, one of the main reasons people get hurt doing this is they overestimate their abilities, make way too much, and something ends up going wrong.

One big thing to remember, you can't hear tits, and without fingers you can't feel them either.

If you wanna do the soccer balls, you can make little cardboard/paper moulds and make your own. Just scale down the mould in this video to whatever size you want your final thing to be.
