Hi Joann, no I didn’t paint my bowling ball before gluing on the beads,…but you sure could.

Works as a good stabilizer.

TFS!

Wonderful ideas always. I have a bowling ball that I covered in the flat marbles, but I pinned your project the day that this tut came out w/your blog. I have had almost 30 people repin from my pin….so you are doing something so very right & creative! Keep up the good work!
