A Bowling Ball to Top Off My Tipsy Pots
We built a tipsy pot tower out of galvinized buckets. I love all things shiny and sparkly so I decided to add a decorated bowling ball to the top of my tower.
I found a bowling ball at Goodwill in a color that I love.
My husband drilled the thumb hole larger so that it would fit over the 1" conduit that is support for the tower.
I applied glass stones to the ball using a clear weatherproof silicone glue. I have been using this glue on projects for over 5 years and have never had anything loosen or fall off.
love the way it shines and sparkles as the sun hits the glass.

It is beautiful! I tried this several years ago; the bowling bowl was a darker color than I wanted it to be, so I spray painted it white with Krylon paint meant for resin pieces. Sure wish I had it now to put in my garden; when we moved somehow it got left behind, darn it. It seems harder to find those large balls here.
