Patriotic Baseballs for a Festive Centerpiece

This is a project for those old baseballs. Mine was an old Red Wings ball.

I started by tracing 3 sizes (big, medium, tiny) of stars on the middle section.

Then I painted the background blue, carefully leaving the stars white.

As you've probably already guessed, the next step is to paint red and white stripes on the unpainted section.

I found it helpful to draw the lines before painting.

It looks great! Imagine a bunch of these in a bowl. Bam! Patriotic centerpiece.
