Fabric Repurposed Tennis Balls

I've been wanting to find a craft that uses

my old dead tennis balls and here it is!

This is a no-cost project. Love that!

 It repurposes things I have plenty of. 

Love that! It takes no time

 and no skill. Love that too!

 Here's my stash of repurposed fabric, 

you know, old shirts, sheets, etc. 

Everything gets dumped in here. 

In the entry way of all places, but it's

 in a basket, so nobody knows and it's handy

 for "lightbulb moment" days.

I pulled out the red, white, and blue pieces.

 Have lots of used tennis balls. I you don't
play tennis, ask a friend that does, or call
your local club. Save the empty cans too.
I use them to store everything!!

 Cut/tear your fabric into about 1" strips and 

cover the balls tightly, overlapping new

 strips as needed. 

 I used pins. I save (doesn't everybody?) 

those tiny head pins that come with new

 stuff. Those are better, if you have them.

  Now just pin down the last strip
through the fabric (not the ball)
It will hold just fine. Pile the
finished balls in a bowl, pin side down. 

Viola! 

I've also covered tennis balls with rope

as seen in this post.

Here's my family room coffee table vignette.

Think of all the other colors you can use

 for every holiday or your decor. You can

 even store them back in the tennis can 

when you pack-up. 

In addition to the tennis ball craft, you 

may notice my fun avatar. You can create 

your own using the app Bitstrips. Then

 you can use it to annoy your family when 

you text them along with pictures. My

 daughter Kim and I have been texting 

each other and having so much fun! 

My granddaughter is begging

us to stop :))

Have A Star Spangled Weekend!!

Cheers!
