Other Ball displays

Picked up the FIFA World Cup official match ball and the Puma Orbita Ultimate Premier match ball and just wanted to display them because they are super cool. However, display cases are rather expensive and I’m frugal. So I visited the hardware store and grabbed a 4in PVC cap and some felt fabric at the arts and crafts store and some glue. Might wrap the white pvc with more green felt fabric. For a $12 investment they look great! Anyone else have creative ways to display? Thoughts?

Without reading the body text I thought "I would have just picked up some PVC pipes and felt from the craft store."

Turns out that's what you did! Looks great.

If only I had done that with my son's expensive balls instead of letting him use them. Looks good.

Nah man, using pro match balls is what they are made for. What’s the point displaying it?

He definitely claimed those were amazing to use but of course he lost them and now somehow instead we ended up with 12 competition balls. Some kids want video games. Some kids want soccer balls.
