A rolling stone gathers no moss...but what about a tennis ball?

Recently, I've seen a lot of Styrofoam ball transformations using moss. Setting for Four has a great tutorial using reindeer moss and The Yellow Cape Cod transforms her Styrofoam balls using Spanish moss.

This project has been on my 'hope to do one day list' BUT admittedly I am cheap.

The moss is about $5 and the Styrofoam balls about the same. SO, I had one of those 'aha' moments, when I was throwing an old tennis ball to Riley. I may not have Styrofoam balls on hand but I do have tennis balls.

So, with my glue gun in hand and some Spanish moss, I started to transform my Riley's tennis balls.

Not bad, huh?  Seriously, who would guess these were tennis balls?

I'm happy with my thrifty mossy orbs {I feel weird saying mossy balls, does that make me immature?}

I am not so sure Riley feels the same about her upcycled tennis balls.
