It's basketball season and I'm sure many of you have children and grandchildren participating on a school team. You can easily personalize this trophy with their number for a nice keepsake. Basketball teams typically have 15 or fewer players so you could make one for every child.
This pattern does require a good curve cutting technique. You want the ball to look round and not misshapen. Go slow if you have to and cut on the outside of the line just in case you need to sand away and flaws.
You can also use my free online Stencil program to make a pattern of the child's name to add to the project. You may need to make the base a little longer so the name will fit.
