You two were busy! What kind of ball did you cover?


Summers are just this side of hell, but you don't have to shovel sunshine...

I have not seen these made before. They would look lovely in your yard.

they are 6" styro and yard glue. put some on the ball and some on the 1/2 marble. set the timer for 3-4 minutes and then bond.

I used the bowling balls too lol. In fact, I've got to get someone to help me pound the rebar back in my one flower bed to put my frog back up.
Those are pretty.

what is yard glue? never heard of it and where can you find it?
All you did is just put the glue on the ball with the marble. you don't have to put anything else on to protect it from the weather

GOOP is the brand they have several kinds you get it at Home
Depot or Lowe's.I squeezed a tad out of the tube and dragged a toothpick over it to apply to the marble and ball. Let them sit 4 minures before putting them together.. when you put the 2 pieces together if it oozes too much just use a q-tip to drag it off.


you do have to seal it with grout or cement sealer. the stuff I used was grout sealer but may try something else....Several kinds
