What to Do With Old Bowling Balls!

Linda B
by Linda B
I bought some bowling balls at tag salesbecause I wanted to make garden ornaments with them. Michele, my niece, and I glued on pebbles and glass stones to the balls. Here are the results.
We took bowling balls and sandpapered them lightly so scratch the surface so the glue would adhere.
We worked on the floor and put the bowling balls on flower pots.
Here Michele has everything at hand.
Here it is in the garden.

    I love them and I want to look for some old bowling balls now. I have a lot of areas in out yard that look awful. We have a lot of spaces in the back yard that is very bare along our privacy fence. I could tuck them in with the Monkey grass for color and dimension. Thanks for sharing.

    I have the bottom part of a birdbath (the stand)...concrete...how can I get the bowling ball to stay on that?
