Today, I did an easy version of DIY Congkak game set, it is eco friendly and light-weight too!

I used plastic bowls that I bought from SuperSave. Actually you don't have to buy new plastic bowls, better still, you may collect and reuse them.

Arrange the plastic bowls accordingly. The photo shown above is actually incorrect lol. Should have 7x7 and another two containers beside.

You will need these wire ties to attach your plastic bowls together.
Use a pen knife to cut a hole through the plastic bowls.

Twist. Turn. Twist. Turn. There you go.
