Repurpose An Old Bowling Ball

I love to bowl and that means that I have a few old bowling balls lying around the house. I can't really use them to bowl anymore but don't want to throw them away or give them away, there are too many memories. So I figured out a way to keep them without cluttering up the house. I use them in my front yard. Let me explain. I spray paint and decorate them to resemble insects, animals, etc... I make them into ladybugs, frogs, squirrels and anything else I can think of and place them around my yard to give it a homey look. I'm not really an artist so for the trickier ones I ask my 18 yr. old son to help ( which is amazing when it comes to art ). I do get a lot of compliments from neighbors and people passing by, which makes me feel good. And I get to keep my precious old bowling balls. Would you do the same with your old bowling balls or just toss them? Photo Credit: Pixabay

I’m not a bowling ball owner, but that sounds like such a fabulous and creative idea, I’d love to see some photos!

You are so creative. I would have never thought of that. You should take pics and share! I don't have any bowling balls.

I guess I am kind of a pack rat, but I don't clutter. So I try to figure out if I can use it for something or get rid of it.
