Croquet Set Project #3

I'm still making projects from the croquet set I got for free off of Craigslist. This is simply a cute and easy way to display photos using vintage croquet balls.


I used three of the four I had left because things look better grouped in odd numbers, and I DO need 1 of them for my last project.

All you need to do is cut a slit in the croquet ball for a place to hold a photo.

I used this coping saw to do the job. I generally prefer power tools, but for this project the coping saw (needed a really thin blade) was the way to go and it really wasn't too difficult.

I used this wooden ring for the base so the croquet balls wouldn't roll. I painted it white and used epoxy to adhere it underneath. A button with an indentation would also do the job.

Here's a closer view of the finished croquet ball photo holder. Ta-Dah!

Now if you're keeping track, I still have 1 croquet mallet and 1 croquet ball left -- I have the perfect plan for them. Stay tuned.
