If you're looking for a way to add some decor to your garden space, this one's for you! Here's a pretty simple and fun way to create your own garden gazing ball. You're going to want to use a pretty heavy ball as your base. I used one heavy bowling ball which I found for sale in the neighborhood for just $5.00! All you need now is pennies and e6000 glue.
Next step is to gather your pennies, depending on the size of your ball, you'll need a different amount of pennies. Then use E6000 to glue the pennies all over the ball.
I went shopping in our local antique store and found a lovely silver urn to display the ball.
Make sure you don't overlap the pennies in this project. Turn it to keep filling in the space. I found it easiest to work with it on the urn. It held it wonderfully and then when a section dried I could just rotate it in the urn.
Watch it age so beautifully. Make one yourself, it was easy and fun!
