Earth Positive Ball

Create your own Mod-Rock ball and decorate with inspiring earth positive messages.

  • Step 1Firstly prepare your Mod-Wrap. Cut thin strips of Mod-Wrap and place them in a craft bowl for later.
  • Step 2Blow up your balloon and place in a craft bowl to keep it stable while covering in Mod-Wrap. We only blew our balloon up about 1/2 full.
  • Step 3Cover the balloon in Mod-Wrap. Dip the Mod-Wrap strips one at a time into a shallow bowl of warm water. Squeeze out excess water into the bowl before laying over the balloon. Overlap the layers in different directions to build strength. Make sure you cover the whole balloon. Let the Mod-Wrap dry thoroughly.
  • Mod-Wrap needs to dry over night before you start to decorate!
  • Step 5Once completely dry, decide on a design and earth positive messages you would like on your ball. Sketch some ideas onto paper before transferring onto your ball with a pencil.
  • Step 6Paint the ball. Look to our Mod-Wrap ball for inspiration or come up with your own messages and designs.
