Here are the
styrofoam columns we made. I scratched them up a bit to simulate cracks and wear. And then I found these old basketballs for the finials. I also found these cheap plastic bowls that I cut the bottoms out of to hold the balls better.
So last night I painted the base coat on everything. I hope the paint dries properly on the bowls and balls. They look pretty good good except when you get closer...
you can see the basketball's pattern. Oh well, maybe I can
camouflage it with the sponge painting. If not, I'll cover them with dead ivy and crows and maybe no one will notice. At least the price was right!

Ingenious, of course! How did you secure the balls to the bowls to the columns?
What a great idea!
You are so clever!
This is such a creative project. I love this idea and may have to give it a try myself. Thanks for sharing!
