Score a hole in one with this tee-rific gift.
| Prep Time: About 2 to 3 hours | |
| What you need: | |
| Clay
Craft wire Golf ball template Pen Pliers | |
| Seasons: Year round | |
| Materials: clay , wire | |
| Instructions: | |
| 1. |  To assemble one, first make a 1 ½-inch hemisphere
(with one flat side) from white Sculpey clay. Press the clicker
of a retractable pen into the rounded side of the clay for a
dimpled golf ball look. |
| 2. |  Next, cut three 6-inch lengths of 18-gauge craft wire. Bend
one of the wires into a right angle, then use jewelry pliers to
make a small hook at one end (A). With the other end of the wire,
make a hole in the side of the ball, about halfway through.
Remove the wire and bake the clay, flat side down, according to
the package directions, then let it cool. |
| 3. | One at a time, wrap the 2 other wires around the tip of the pliers to form a central loop. Bend the wires into right angles, then make small hooks at the ends (B and C). Hang 3 snap fishing swivels on the hooks as shown, 1 on wire B and 2 on wire C. |
| 4. | Next, print our
golf
ball templates and cut them out. (To view the .pdf file,
you'll need
Adobe
Reader which is available for free from the Adobe site.)
(Or mark three 3-inch circles of white paper with a dot pattern for a golf ball look.) |
| 5. | Glue a copy of a photo to the back of each circle, then cover both sides of each circle with clear packing tape, trimming the tape and the photos to fit the circles. Make a small hole near the top of each circle with a pushpin, then hang each one on a swivel. |
| 6. | Finally, hook wire C to the free loop of wire B, then hook wire B to wire A. Stick a piece of double-sided mounting tape to the back of the ball, then stick wire A into the ball. |
