How to Make Garden Gazing Balls From Bowls

    • 1). Wash and dry your plastic bowls thoroughly, removing dirt and oil that may prevent your paint from sticking.

    • 2). Lay the bowls on a flat, steady surface right side up. Squeeze a few puddles of iridescent paint onto a paper plate.

    • 3). Dip a sponge brush into one color paint, making sure to coat the brush liberally. Hold the brush above the bowls and let the paint drizzle into the bowls in random patterns. Tilt and move the bowls to expand the patterns and make the paint run more.

    • 4). Let the first coat of paint dry for about 10 minutes. Add your next color just as you did the first. Continue until the bowls are completely coated. Let them dry in the sun for 4 hours and cure overnight in a warm, dry place.

    • 5). Squeeze a bead of silicone caulk around the edge of one bowl. Flip the other bowl over and press the rim into the caulk. Let the bowls fuse together overnight. Display on a gazing ball stand or as otherwise desired.
