“Oh, my goodness, it’s a golf ball!” I hear that all the time when my craft show customers draw near for a closer look. Once they see it’s a golf ball, they gotta have one. With tongue in-cheek, I suggest they get FOUR!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Everyone knows someone who plays golf, so it’s a perfect gift. Best of all, they are small, light weight and easy to ship in the mail to the golfer on your list. What’s more, it can go right up on the tree!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Even if you’re not<\/em> into golf, it’s still a cute up-cycle\/re-purpose craft that’s fun to make. Each one can be a bit different, too. Make one a ‘boy’ or a ‘girl’ by painting the hat pink or blue. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Use carrot-colored modeling clay to shape noses: big, small or crooked. Position them any direction you want on the face; to the right, left or sticking straight out. You can even give them different facial expressions!<\/p>\n\n\n\n There’s no need to buy them new. Your local thrift store may have lots of used golf balls donated by instructors or the local golf course. If not, try the used sports equipment places. There should be plenty on hand this time of the year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n It’s ok if used golf balls have chips or scuff marks from being out on the green. They’ll look all the more authentic!<\/p>\n\n\n\n I hope you’ll enjoy making Golf Ball Tree ornaments!<\/p>\n\n\n\n SNOWMAN FUN FACTS:<\/p>\n\n\n\n Q: How much snow do you need to build a snowman? <\/strong> A: A 6ft tall snowman requires 19 cubic feet of compacted snow<\/p>\n\n\n\n Q: How much does a snowman weigh? <\/strong> A: the largest snowman on record was 113 ft tall and weighed 9,000,000 lbs!<\/p>\n\n\n\n Q: Who was Snow-Zilla? <\/strong> A: Snow-Zilla was a giant snowman 2.5 stories tall (complete with stove-pipe hat) made from real snow built by a man in Anchorage, Alaska.
