| I first saw bowling ball art a few years ago and I was fascinated. I made a few and was thrilled with the way they came out.
This is my newest creation. Since my husbnad drinks beer and is a beer can collector it was the obviuos one to make. I found this great spider planted and gave him bottle cap eyes (Magic Hat Beer). |

| Love THAT spider! What a cute plant holder. I really thinks he looks awesome with the beer cap bowling ball. And great idea making bottle cap eyes! It really makes a difference. Very cute project! |

| Thanks for the great comments. I never realized that he looked sci-fi, but now that you've mentioned it, he does. This forum is a great inspiration. I love looking at the wonderful Garden Art that people create. |

| Babcia, Great BCBB! I love how you didn't paint anything. When a project comes togehter so nicely like that and you don't have to paint it's always like a bonus! And the thing too is that it really looks like a Black Widow Spider. It's amazing how many things we can use to decorate our BB's. Just make sure yours doesn't get spider webs all over it! Hehehehee
Love, Jules |

| I love this so much. its got to be one of my all time favorite posts. where did you get thet spider planter? I would love to do one of these. I have tons of beer caps and bowling balls and I love spiders. LOVE IT. had to bring this back up for Halloween!! |

| Thanks for your great comments. I've had a lot of fun with this little guy. At the suggestion of daisydal I added it to my Halloween decorations. As far as the planter/holder, I bought it at a yard sale. I was looking for something to hold it and when I saw this, I thought it would work. It's a plant stand. I have another ball that I did that I used a plant stand so I knew that the idea worked well. If you make one, please share it. I'd love to see it. |

| Babcia: I made a stepping stone once and outlined it with caps but they rusted in one year. I didn't coat them with anything tho. Have you put a sealer on your bowling ball? Very nice, by the way! I love it! |
RE: Beer Bottle Cap/Crown Bowling Ball
| | |
| I did coat it using a spray product that I bought at Michael's. I also used caulk instead of grout because I thought the grout would scratch the beer caps. I intend to bring it into the garage for winter, but so far it's holding up very well. Thanks for your comments. |
