Fun Tennis Wreath and Shadow Box


This tennis racquet wreath was featured on virginiasweetpea.com on the July 12, 2011 post she gives exact directions on how to make a tennis racquet wreath! The color combinations are endless. I think a Christmas tennis wreath would be so fun to have on the door to of the tennis club!



This shadow box can be purchased on somethingsporty.com. They also sell sports themed candy. But I think that it would be fun to make your own tennis shadow box with photos, ticket stubs, an old racquet, tennis balls, score cards, etc. So start saving and gathering up your tennis memorabilia.

Christmas Ideas with Tennis Balls


This Santa head is made from a tennis ball. There was not a website with instructions to make this Santa  but I am sure that it would be easy to figure out. Looks like you would just need felt, glue and yarn to make the pom pom. It would be nice to recycle your tennis balls for the Christmas holiday!



This photo is from Dailydanny.com.  It is Danny Seo's blog and he is an expert in "green living." Reuse, repurpose and recycle.

They took tennis balls and some pins, beads and sequins and decorated the tennis ball using straight pins to apply the beads and sequins. Don't the beaded tennis balls look fantastic? What a great holiday centerpiece!

Tennis Miscellaneous



This is a great water bottle for the gym or tennis court. It has an opening on the side that holds personal things - keys, money, drivers license etc. You can purchase this on Amazon.com. I think that this would be a wonderful Christmas gift.



I love this tennis ball yellow dress. You can purchase the dress from the us.asos.com website. It has a scoop neckline and three-quarter length sleeves. I think the gathered drape in the front would be really flattering. It was originally $63.63 but it now on sale for $27.27.



These tennis ball stickers can be purchased from the Etsy shop TheGreenGrassGrows. For 15 custom tennis ball stickers or address labels the cost is $5.50 plus $1.50 in shipping anywhere in the United States.  This shop also makes tennis cupcake tennis toppers and goody bags.
