craftgrrlI'd like to make a 3' diameter Christmas bulb to hang from the tree in our front yard this winter, but I'm really not sure how to go about it, and I'm hoping ya'll will have some good suggestions. I've tried Googling, but I'm not sure what terms to even use.
It needs to be light, sturdy, weatherproof and shiny. I thought of doing paper mache, but I don't think it would hold up to the elements. I know I can buy 3'and bigger beach balls to use as a form, but I don't want my ornament to look like a spray-painted beach ball...Help?
Thanks!
