DIY Silly Photography

Ping Pong Balls Faces

— August 11, 2008 — Tech
I'm quite amazed by how pretty much any object can look like a funny Muppet by sticking eyes on it.

We have previously introduced you to a street art project by FilthyLuker that attached eyes to trees and bushes. Now we bring you a fun homemade project that uses magnetic ping pong ball eyes to make 'instant faces'.

To create the magnetic eyes, simply cut open a ping pong ball and glue a magnet into it. Dip it in white Plasti Dip and draw an eyeball on it. Now you can make faces by attaching the eyes to any metal object.




Trend Themes
1. Instant Faces - By using magnetic ping pong ball eyes and attaching them to objects, DIYers can add a creative and inexpensive touch to their decoration or art projects.
2. Magnet-based DIY Crafts - This trend speaks to the growing popularity of magnet-based DIY crafts that allow people to easily customize and decorate their surroundings without the need for expensive resources.
3. Funny Object Muppets - As the concept of turning everyday objects into muppet-like characters grows in popularity, this trend presents an opportunity for toy manufacturers to create a line of merchandise that celebrates the absurdity of everyday items turned into silly creatures.
Industry Implications
1. Art Supplies and Crafts - These DIY trends present an opportunity for art supply and craft retailers to introduce new products that cater to the growing interest among consumers in creative and unique DIY projects.
2. Home Decor and Design - By tapping into the magnet-based DIY trend, home decor and design businesses can offer innovative and sustainable ways for homeowners to personalize and beautify their living spaces without breaking the bank.
3. Toy Manufacturing - This silly yet entertaining trend offers a chance for toy manufacturers to create plush toys or figurines based on the concept of everyday objects turned into funny Muppet-like creatures.
