    • There are many unique craft ideas for using gazing balls. Gazing balls can be painted with waterproof paint or wrapped with wire or string. They can also be partially buried either alone or in a group. They can also be halfway buried to border a flower bed. Even though gazing balls are made to hold up outdoors they are breakable, especially when placed on the ground. So take precautions when you bury gazing balls in the ground.
