Introduction: Golf Tee Desk Ornament
In this Instructable I will show you how to make a desk ornament out of some easy to find materials.
Step 1: Materials
The materials needed for this project are:
- golf tees
- a golf ball
- hot glue gun
- glue for the glue gun
- paint (optional)
Step 2: Start Gluing It Together
Plug in the hot glue gun and let it warm up.
To attatch the golf tees just spread glue on the bottom of the tee then quickly put the tee onto the golf ball.
you want to glue the tees on from the top down so they are even on the golf ball (see pictures). they will not always fit perfectly and there will sometimes be small gaps. Thats ok they are barley noticeable once you are done (also see picture).
Step 3: Finishing Up
Basically its done now it only took me about 15 minutes to make so its a fast project.
Now you can also choose to paint it if you want I chose to paint mine red. Make sure you cover the whole entire thing I had to flip it a bunch of times because its hard to get all the sides coated.

Has anyone tried any other type of glue than hot glue ? Maybe super glue or something ? The one I made is pretty fragile :(

Fabri-Tac works on everything!

i think wood glue might work well. also: this looks more like a spiky ball of death (for throwing at someone you don't like) than an ornament...

That is a pretty cool idea, and really simple too. If you had enough of the different colored tees, you could make patterns and such too. Bravo !

How many tees did it take for you to make this? Great 'ible, and pretty quick as an ornament!

umm I don't remember for sure but I guess around 20 or a little more. I no longer have it, it broke when I stepped on it .

For the golfing nut in the family. Cool! I know you described it as a desk ornament, but any nifty ideas on how to incorporate a hook for a tree ornament? Anyone?
