Have a lot of leftover paintballs from your last trip to the arena? Display them in a bottle for a sweet decoration!

You'll need:
Paintballs
a clear, glass bottle
ribbons
paint, paintbrush
glue
plastic jewels, beads or other decorations

Step 1: Put the paintballs into the bottle

Make sure the bottle and the paintballs are clean and completely dry. I used a Fuze bottle because I liked the size and shape.

They are nasty, the paint seeped through my mouth guard, I almost puked. YUCKY.

I always get shot in the mouth every time I'm breathing heavily and the paint tastes like soap and plastic shrapnel.

i just want to advise you that paintballs are not disigned to eat second it can be gross and unhealthy becuase of that it's case and paint is not proper neutrition,and thirdly you can choke on the casing and the thickness of the paint and get posioned from the vegi oil possibly now i am not stopping you and am not blaiming you so it's not bossy i am also just making a nodice or safety so i am not reponsible for your actions

They're non-toxic, just like dirt. If you eat enough, you'll still die. I assume most of us aren't idiots.

Paintballs do taste pretty good, though.
Kaelessin says: Jul 10, 2008. 8:58 AM
maybe it depens on the paint but i've been lit up a couple of times in the mask and the crud that makes it to your mouth is downright vile . . .

they do? they smell bad to me
Bran says: Jul 10, 2008. 9:36 AM
Perhaps it's an acquired taste - they have a sour/bitter taste, but that's what make them different.

dkfa says: Nov 15, 2008. 7:35 PM

I didn't know that you could eat them. Or can you?
GeekTinker says: Jul 1, 2009. 11:40 PM
Yes, paintballs are edible. I wouldn't recommend eating a lot of them though. Plus, they really don't taste very good. They can, however, make you some money on a bet.

Most are non-toxic, so yes, you can. Makes your poop tie-dye though....

hmm what to do with 2000 paintballs...
35Timmy says: Mar 24, 2012. 7:00 AM
again it's for collecting besides then you have a way of storage and a work of art to symbolize efforts an creativity from my view it's okay to joke around just do not get too dirty for the policys and also add to the comment that it's a joke
dexterd says: Dec 12, 2010. 8:24 PM
Lots of decorations?
junits15 says: Mar 3, 2011. 5:41 PM
Just a note they WILL degrade and fall apart after a while
35Timmy says: Mar 24, 2012. 6:58 AM
well you can use a lot of hot glue and eventually it will dry to secure it then you can cut off the extra glue so you can open it and will make it more child safe for those who have kids that are little just please be carefull by only using a enough glue to do a small amount at a time and enough space and enough time so it drys for every part so no one gets burnt unless you are wearing oven mitts remember i took science glass so i know safety
St Jimmy says: May 24, 2011. 12:37 PM
No way, dude. THIS is what you use leftover paintballs for

oanderson says: May 24, 2011. 1:19 PM
If only that were real...
35Timmy says: Mar 24, 2012. 7:13 AM
my idea of with that is given full credit tto their respectfull owners
oanderson says: Mar 24, 2012. 10:32 AM
What? Who are you?
St Jimmy says: May 24, 2011. 11:57 PM
It was! I've seen the design, not far from where I live. They did a whole lot of things like that
ghicken says: May 24, 2011. 10:01 PM
It probably was.
Mythbusters did a similar thing in 2008

oanderson says: May 25, 2011. 9:36 AM
I'm still don't believe it totally.
St Jimmy says: May 25, 2011. 12:52 PM
And this is why you shouldn't make ads that are so cool so as to become unbelievable. Google: V paintball ad. Go to the link that has the catchphrase "starts with v." Then see the entire thing being made and tested
oanderson says: May 25, 2011. 11:53 PM
Sorry, I didn't realise my terrible grammar in my last comment. What does your comment mean, what am I supposed to do?
St Jimmy says: May 26, 2011. 9:06 PM
Google the following 12 letters, 14 if you count spaces: V energy drink. Then go to the 6th link, under the pictures, that says, startswithv.com. Sorry I got the search text wrong on the last comment
35Timmy says: Mar 10, 2012. 8:02 AM
you know what you gave me a idea of basiclly using it as a gift for refills thanks
