Recyclaballs

Instructions on how to make FREE juggling balls, while saving the environment! All you need are plastic shopping bags, scissors, and a candle. No glue, tape, or anything else.

These balls are pretty durable. I've been using mine for a week now with no problems. They are somewhat lighter than my professional quality equipment, but very usable and much more juggleable than a set of tennis balls or rolled up socks. Plus they answer the age-old question of what to do with all those old plastic bags. Make a few sets for Christmas and use all the excess shopping bags in the process. Two birds with one stone!

based on my experience with shrink-wrapping windows, I wonder if you could use a blow dryer instead of a candle...

@melodicmetallove

Good question. I don't know if the bag plastic would shrink the same way the window plastic does. It would be worth experimenting with. Respond if you try it . . .

This is what happens when you're not fortunate to own a TV or video games ;)

I can tell by your videos that you're obviously not a big TV watcher either.

Who are you calling a clown? Oh, wait, I was a professional entertainer for six years. No, not all of us are clowns -- just the good ones ;-)
