On Monday I guest posted on All Thingz Related with some decor balls. Well next week on The CSI Project there is a hardware store challenge!
I just gotta post my galvanized decor ball here...
1) Cause I love it
2) Cause I wanna make sure y'all saw it
3) Cause I want to link up to those CSI gals!
So let's get started! Find ya some pipe strapping -- go to the hardware store and hunt it down -- it will be worth it. Then I used some brads that have letters on them. These were intended for scrapbooking.

You will also need a round ball to use as a form. Any will do and use the size you want your finished project to be. Form the gavanized strip around the ball and cut to size. Repeat until you have 4 strips.
Use a small dowel or skewer to line all of your strips up. I alternated the "cut" portion -- 2 up and 2 down.
Insert in your brads on the top and bottom to hold everything together. Do this by slowly inserting it while you remove the dowel. This was the easiest way I found. I then inserted brads randomly around the ball.
Put it on your porch!

Very ingenious, Is that sea shells? I wonder what else you could add??
Carol
I never would have thought of that, either. Cute!
I really like this! I haven't seen anything like it before - how creative. :) I'm thinking of all kinds of things you could do with this - they make so many amazing brads now, you could dress them up lots of different ways. Thanks for sharing!
That looks really cool in your planter. The seashell ball looks great too! I love them both!
What a fun idea! I love them.
