Thank you all so much. I am so excited to have one done and going in the yard. I have collected around 7 bowling balls over the years and am so excited to have one finished. The next one I am going to cover in pennies (shiny) I know they won't stay that way but I saw one online years ago and I really liked it.I also have bags of cat's eye marbles I want to cover one with.
I recently found 2 of the balls at Goodwill one was marked 99 cents and the other one wasn't marked. Took them to the register and got both for 99 cents each. I was told they are usually 2.99 each without a bag. My house looks like all I do is craft but I am having fun.
