      Love these ideas. Where can you find $1-2 bouncy balls though? I’d really like to do this project but any I’ve found are much more expensive.

        I thought about those punching balls. You know the ones you blow up and close the end. Not sure how well they will work or if paint will adhere to their surface though.

          Hi Dennis,

          I’ve seen them $2.88 a piece at Walmart when they were on sale. The best time to find them on sale is during their clearance summer sale. Also, I occasionally see them at thrift stores for even cheaper (try your local children’s thrift stores). You may even be able to get them cheap if you buy in bulk online too.

          Hope this helps,
          Stephy

      A suggestion to try for the buttons…paint those little plastic 3-legged inserts used to keep pizzas from sticking to the box lid,,,,cut off the. Legs and glue in place after painting them. The same 3 legged inserts painted black also make perfect eyes/mouth embellments for real snowmen
