I can't take credit for this project. It's a copycat of one I saw on Pinterest. Once I saw it, I knew, finally, what I could do with all of the random baseballs in our garage. My boys played baseball briefly, but somehow we had all of these balls hanging around. I started by breaking out some red, white and blue acrylic paint.

While at our local thrift store last week, I spied these wood pieces in their craft area. I wasn't sure what they were for or what I was going to do with them, but I grabbed them anyway.
