Lady glues 800 dried green split peas to styrofoam ball. The internet is going wild over this!

Creating an eye-catching yet simple decor piece has never been easier with this unique DIY project. Transforming a plain styrofoam ball into a textured green pantry sphere using 800 dried green split peas is not only a conversation starter but also a great way to add a pop of color and texture to your space. This project is perfect for anyone looking to add a touch of nature-inspired decor to their home without breaking the bank.

This textured green sphere can be styled on a bookshelf or placed on a decorative tray as a centerpiece in your living room or dining area. Pair it with neutral tones and natural materials like wood and linen for a harmonious look. It works well in both modern and rustic settings, adding a touch of organic charm.

1 styrofoam ball (6 inches in diameter)

Start by gathering all your materials and laying them out on a covered workspace.

Using the small paintbrush, apply a generous amount of craft glue to a small section of the styrofoam ball.

Place the dried green split peas onto the glued section, pressing gently to ensure they stick. Continue until the section is covered.

Rotate the styrofoam ball and repeat the gluing and pressing process until the entire ball is covered with peas.

Allow the glue to dry completely, which may take several hours or overnight.

Once dry, inspect the ball to ensure all areas are covered and add more peas with glue as needed.

For variations, consider using different colored legumes or seeds to match your home decor. You could also create a set of spheres in various sizes for a more dynamic display. Alternatively, paint the styrofoam ball in a complementary color before adding the peas for a more layered effect. Experiment with different adhesives for varied textures, and try adding a light spray of sealant to increase durability.
