Sometimes when I spot an idea in a magazine or on Pinterest that I love, I can’t seem to get it out of my head. This Eyeball Wreath was that way. Last year, I spotted the Eerie Eyeball Wreath in the Country Living Magazine. We had every intention of making the wreath until we started looking around for Glow in the Dark Rubber Eyeballs. They were really expensive and were going to cost around $75 to make.

So we put the idea on the back burner last year, and brought it up again this year. Once again, we searched around for the Rubber Eyeballs, without much luck. Until we happened to be in a local Sporting Goods store and spotted Glow in the Dark Ping Pong Balls for a only $8 per box.

Now, I know you probably may not be able to find the Glow in the Dark Ping Pong Balls, but honestly I think the Eyeball Wreath is pretty cool even when it doesn’t glow.

  4. um, I have an issue on this and I just need some clarification. It has been my experience that spray pain will usually melt/destroy Styrofoam. Is there a certain kind of Styrofoam that works with spray paint?

    1. Hi Amy, a floral styrofoam works best, it doesn’t flake off like regular styrofoam does. For the paint, we like the Krylon brand the best.
      Happy Crafting!
