Painting bowling balls

 Painting Bowling balls can be quite fun, finding them can be half of the fun. When bowling falls out of favor the balls end up at the garage sale or on the side of the road. They make great craft projects.

I sand them with a scotch bright to get the wax and oils on them. Spray pain the base coat and then lightly sand where the paint for the markings will go.

 The markings are painted with "one shot" lettering paint. and then spray painted with a clear coat.

Copper wire makes the shape of the wings and an aluminum screen makes the wings the thumb hole is plugged with silicone and the copper wire for the antenna, each wing is in a finger hole with silicone. 

A simple carved face with a dremel tool. Is easy and no sanding required. Wax with a crayon in the carving. Clear Coat with clear spray paint.
