How to Tape Two Tennis Balls Together: This is a quick and easy way to make a training tool for your favorite athlete.
Gather your supplies
You will need the following supplies:
-2 tennis balls
-Scissors
-Masking tape, duct tape, or electrical tape
##Instructions:
1.Start by cutting a small “X” into the center of one of the tennis balls. This will be your starting point.
2.Wrap a piece of tape around the edge of the “X” to reinforce it.
3.Thread the other tennis ball through the “X” on the first ball. The two balls should now be sitting side by side, with the “X” of one ball nesting inside the “X” of the other ball.
4.Wrap a piece of tape around the edge of the second “X” to reinforce it.
5.You’re done! You can now bounce your taped-together tennis balls, or use them for any other creative purpose you can think of.
Clean the surface of the balls
To get a good grip, you need to make sure the surface of the balls is clean and dry. Start by wiping them down with a damp cloth to remove any dirt or debris. Once they’re clean, use a dry cloth to wipe them down again, paying special attention to the area where you’ll be applying the tape.
Apply the adhesive to the balls
Apply the adhesive to the balls. You can use a variety of adhesives, but we recommend using a hot glue gun for this project. Apply a generous amount of glue to one of the tennis balls, and then press the two tennis balls together. Hold them in place for a few seconds to allow the glue to set.
Join the balls together
To tape two tennis balls together, you will need:
-Two tennis balls
-Masking tape or another type of tape
Instructions:
1. Start by deciding which side of the ball will be the top and which will be the bottom.
2. Place the bottom of one ball on top of the other ball so that they are touching at the equator.
3. Wrap a piece of tape around the center of the two balls, making sure to cover both balls completely.
4. Trim any excess tape.
5. Your two tennis balls are now taped together!
Let the adhesive dry
Tennis balls are notorious for going flat, but you can prolong their life by taping them together. This is also a handy way to increase the resilience of a particularly soft ball. You’ll need two tennis balls and some adhesive tape.
Position the two tennis balls so that they sit slightly offset from each other, as though they were connected at the equator. Run a line of adhesive tape around the point where the balls touch, making sure that the entire circumference is covered. Allow the adhesive to dry completely before using the ball.
