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
