Ways To Use Styrofoam Balls In Your Favorite Craft Project
Are you looking for the perfect craft project that will entertain your entire family? There are many fun and
exciting craft projects that you can find using Styrofoam balls. In fact, there are many uses for these
traditional, fun and puffy objects. Here are a few ideas on how you can use Styrofoam for projects for every
season.
Every kid enjoys putting together a Styrofoam solar system. Whether you are doing it for the school science
project or you simply want to have an afternoon of fun, making a solar system from Styrofoam balls can
keep everyone busy for hours. Be sure to go online to research the exact colors of the planets in order to
make your solar system accurate. After the science fair is over, take your Styrofoam planets and hang them
from your child?s ceiling. You can even make a mobile from the dangling planets.
For wintertime fun, you can create snowmen from your Styrofoam spheres. Depending on the size of the
balls you are using, you can find an anchor large enough to hook the balls together. Toothpicks or wooden
skewers work well. You can leave your snowmen white, or paint on buttons and a face. Add some diversity
with some colorful snowmen, which make fun decorations as well.
Make a cute, colorful caterpillar by painting the craft balls bright colors. Then string them together in order to
make a caterpillar decoration, perfect for any kid?s room. See how many other types of bugs you can make.
By adding pipe cleaner legs to a black Styrofoam sphere, you can create a spider. Painting a bumblebee can
also be fun.
For a sports theme, you can paint the spheres to look like soccer balls, baseballs, or basketballs. Have your
kids help for a fun do-it-yourself decoration. Make several balls in various styles and decorate your kid?s
room. They also make great Christmas tree decorations for a sports tree celebration.
Party decorations are easy to make using various sizes of balls. Think of creative ways to paint the balls to
represent whatever theme you are using for your party. For a beach party, paint colorful beach balls to fill a
table centerpiece. Create a kissing ball by attaching silk flowers over the entire ball with stick pins. After you
get several kissing balls made, arrange them in a centerpiece bowl or vase.
Make faux fruit slices by cutting the ball with a knife in order to make it look realistic. Painting them is the
fun part. Get a glass pitcher, and fill it up with your Styrofoam fruit for a cute spring and summer table
decoration. Create a colorful Easter basket full of Styrofoam eggs. Paint the balls using pastel pinks, blues,
greens, and yellows. Fill your basket with fake Easter grass, and arrange your eggs to fit.
Do you need a divider for your home swimming pool? Using 10 to 15 large size craft balls, drill a hole through
the center of each one. Then, string them onto a long strip of plastic rope. You now have a quick remedy for
a pool divider. You can even paint the large pool balls for decoration.
These are only a few of the many projects you can find using Styrofoam balls. You can go online to find craft
projects as well as websites where you can purchase craft balls.
