As a teaching professional I have
taken old balls and dyed them different colors for our tiny
tots tennis program. You must use 2 packages of Rit Dye and
approx. 1/2 to 2/3 full of water. Let the balls soak after the
tub has filled with water for an hour or so to get a deeper
color. Colors that take well with the yellow balls are orange,
shades of green, brown, peach, aqua blues, yellow, and purple.
Then put the |
balls in the dryer with a
few towels and dry the load.(It does make noise!!) The kids
love them, they don't bounce high, they're obviously colorful,
they look like a big bowl of tricks, or a fruit salad! use your
imagination. We also donate used balls to the state police for
training for their canine unit. We get several requests a year.
At Christmas time we have had tennis ball ornament contests.
Members get real creative this time of year. |
