Yes, you really can make
Yes, you really can make these gorgeous gazing balls / globes in under 30 minutes. You just need a few basic supplies and away you go. They can look stunning in any garden. You can place them on a stand if you want them on a patio or decking area. DIY garden orbs are so cool!
They are so expensive if you try to buy them from a garden centre or online. So, why not make your own and craft on a budget?
These are purely decorative but historically people believed that they were good luck and could ward off evil. I just like the way the sunlight reflects off the glass.
If you want to make them more weather resistant you can coat them in clear silicone sealant which takes a few hours to set. It depends on where you live in the world but I bring mine indoors for the winter as I do not think they will like the cold wet winters in the UK.
