Introduction
Making a baseball skull is a great way to show your love for the game, and it’s also a great Halloween decoration. This project is easy to do and only requires a few supplies.
Materials
-1 baseball
-1 black permanent marker
-Scissors
Instructions:
1. Cut a small hole in the baseball with the scissors. This will be the mouth of the skull.
2. Draw two eyes and a nose on the baseball with the black permanent marker.
3. Cut out two triangular shapes from the black permanent marker for the ears.
4. Place the baseball on aflat surface and press down so that it becomes skull-shaped.
Tools
In order to make a baseball skull, you will need the following tools: a baseball, a sharp knife, a drill with a small bit, black paint, and superglue.
Step One: Preparing the Skull
The first thing you need to do is clean the skull. You can do this by boiling it in water for about an hour. This will remove any meat or tissue that is still attached. You can also use a wire brush to scrub away any residue.
After the skull is clean, you will need to whiten it. This can be done by bleaching it with hydrogen peroxide or using a product specifically designed for whitening skulls.
Once the skull is clean and white, you are ready to move on to the next step.
Step Two: Painting the Skull
Now that the base color of the skull is complete, it’s time to add some depth and interest with paint. I used a combination of black, white, and gray acrylic paint to create a mottled, aged look. First, I added black to the recessed areas around the eyes and nose with a small brush. I then dry brushed white over the entire surface, letting some of the black peeking through in places. Finally, I added a touch of gray to the outer edges of the skull for shading.
Step Three: Adding the Details
Now that the skull is complete, it’s time to add the details. Start by painting the entire skull white. Once the paint is dry, use a black marker to draw a line down the center of the skull. Next, use a red marker to draw circles around the eyes. Finally, use a black marker to add teeth to the mouth.
Step Four: Finishing Up
Now that the baseball skull is complete, all that’s left to do is to put the finishing touches on it. You may want to add some stitches or other decorations to make it look more realistic. Once you’re satisfied with the way it looks, you can display your baseball skull for all to see!
Conclusion
In conclusion, making a baseball skull is a fairly simple process. All you need is a baseball, a sharp knife, and some patience. With a little practice, you can create a realistic-looking skull that is perfect for Halloween decorations or for scaring your friends.

Resources
To make a baseball skull, you will need:
-1 baseball
-1 pair of scissors
-1 sheet of white paper
-1 black Sharpie marker
-Tape
First, cut a hole in the center of the baseball with the scissors. This will be the mouth of the skull. Next, trace the outline of the baseball onto the sheet of white paper. Cut out this circle, and then cut out a smaller circle from the center of it. This will be the eye socket of the skull. Tape this paper cutout onto the baseball. Use the Sharpie marker to draw a grin on the “mouth” of the skull, and then fill in the “eye socket” with black. Your baseball skull is now complete!
