Mosaic Gazing Ball

This is my first mosaic 3-D project and I had so much fun doing it! I made this for my mom because she loves to garden and I thought her garden needed an accessory. I think with all the various colors, it will blend/accent it nicely. Enjoy!

    I made a couple of these balls by covering old bowling balls with marbles. It was easy and fun.

  • I like to grow a wide variety of carrots in all different colours. You'll need flour, water, a paint brush or pencil, ruler, seeds, and fine tip marker.
  • Add a tiny bit of water to flour to make a sticky paste.
  • Dab the brush in the flour glue and pick up a seed.
  • Set the seeds on the tape at the recommended distance apart. Write the seed names on the tissue with a fine tip marker. Allow everything to dry.
  • Plant the seed tapes at the recommended seed planting depth. The toilet paper will gradually dissolve. This method has provided me with a huge bounty of carrots. 2

How To Make Seed Tapes For Planting Tiny Seeds

Some tiny seeds can have poor germination rates because the wind, rain, or birds carry them away. To counter this, I started making seed tapes for certain crops like carrots. Now, not ...»
only has the germination rate been excellent, but the carrots grow at set distances apart so there's no need for thinning the seedlings.

There's several options-I like using toilet paper, flour, and water. I've provided more information below and on my blog.

  • Add a small waterfall to your small pond to keep it properly filtered and aerated (which means less maintenance). 5

Keep your cats away from your houseplants; Fill the surface of the planter with shells or rocks.

Cover the entire area so there is no room in it for a small paw to fit. Cats generally do not like to step on rough or uncomfortable surfaces so she'll be sure to stay away from the plant in the future.
