I don’t know why I bother with lists. I write them down with huge attention to detail and then one of two things happens. 1. I forget the list at home so it does me absolutely no good or…2. I bring the list with me and completely fail to stick to the script. I go completely rogue. I call and audible. I ditch the plan…and in the end, I leave the store with way too many things having spent way too many dollars.
That’s what happened here. I went to Michaels with a list. On that list were three things. Three things. I left with about fifty. Thats a discrepancy of 47 “things.” Among those fifty things were two styrofoam half balls. I bought them for absolutely no reason at all …other than that gut feeling of “these would make something cool.” (you can see how I quickly deviate from the list plan when I have totally irrational internal monologue like this going on). Turns out my internal monologue was spot on. Styrofoam half balls make for adorable beach balls that you can fill up with all sorts of beachy goodness. It’s a cute way to the package up your summer. This beach ball is easy to make and would be an awesome welcome for summer houseguests. I’m picturing this sitting atop a guest bed with a fun, colorful beach towel and maybe a fruity cocktail? (It always comes back to cocktails, doesn’t it?)
Here’s the rundown on how to make this “Beach …in a ball” project.
You will need:
- Foam Brushes
- Two 10″ hollow styrofoam half balls (you can pick these up at Hobby Lobby or Michael’s)
- toothpicks
- stencil tape
- Assorted bright acrylic craft paints
Insert toothpicks along the rim of the styrofoam half ball
- Use the toothpicks to attach the halves together
- Tape off wedge segments as shown
- Paint every other segment
- Once the segments have dried, tape off a circle on the top and bottom of the ball and paint.
When it’s done and the paint is dry, the styrofoam ball has plenty of room inside to fill with summer time treats.
A round of applause for your blog post.Much thanks again. Cool.
Nice post. I used to be checking constantly this blog and I’m impressed! Very helpful info particularly the closing part 🙂 I care for such information a lot. I was seeking this particular information for a long time. Thank you and best of luck.
An interesting dialogue is worth comment. I feel that it is best to write extra on this topic, it might not be a taboo topic but usually people are not sufficient to speak on such topics. To the next. Cheers
Interesting post here. One thing I’d like to say is that most professional career fields consider the Bachelor’s Degree as the entry level requirement for an online education. When Associate Degrees are a great way to get started, completing your current Bachelors opens many entrance doors to various professions, there are numerous online Bachelor Diploma Programs available by institutions like The University of Phoenix, Intercontinental University Online and Kaplan. Another thing is that many brick and mortar institutions offer Online editions of their diplomas but typically for a considerably higher fee than the providers that specialize in online diploma plans.
wow, awesome post.Much thanks again. Cool.
