Craft Project: Bowling Ball Gazing Ball
|
| Bowling Ball Gazing Ball |
Approximate Time: at least 2-3 days
Supplies:
- One bowling ball
- 3 packages flat marbles
- 2 tubes Clear Silicone Glue
- Pedestal for display
- 2 cans spray paint
Instructions:
An old bowling ball can be transformed into a yard art project. The bowling ball should be painted with a color of your choice;allow to dry thoroughly. Place the bowling bowl in a plastic flower pot for stability of the ball while attaching the marbles to the ball; turn the ball after it is dry to expose another area to cover with marbles.
Using clear silicone glue and flat marbles (your choice of color of marble); glue marbles in a design of your choice which should be drawn in pencil on the dry bowling ball. We used a circular design. Allow each section to dry before proceeding to the next section.
After completion of this project, it can be placed on any type of pedestal to display in a flower bed, backyard deck or even as a campsite decoration for a RV or tent. I displayed our gazing ball in a garden pot bicycle. It sits on my backyard deck as shown in the picture

That is the prettiest thing! How clever to use those flat marbles! Lots of bowling balls around, nice to have some way to use them! That will brighten up a garden spot! A friend of mine found a bowling ball covered with old pennies. It was nice in a corner of her house. Both would be just wonderful to have as conversational pieces! I think if I find one at a garage sale I might just have to try it!
