The thing about tulle is the places you have to go to buy it.
Tulle is most easily found in the bridal department of your local fabric store.
I'm guessing from your screen name that you are of the male persuasion (though my success rate at these kinds of guesses is less than 100%.) It takes a very self-assured male to browse around the bridal department of the fabric store.
If - heaven forbid - you have to ask some one for help, remember it's pronounced like "tool." We can remember tool, right?
Once you get you hands on some tulle, it's great stuff. You wrap it around golf balls, baseballs and all kinds of objects, gather it in the back and pass it through a hole in the backing that you've already cut. Pull it tight and glue it or tape it from the back. It nearly disappears in the front and is completely non-invasive. No yucky glue on your balls!
If you'd like to avoid the trip to the fabric store, call Lois Bauby at Superior in Riverside, CA. at
Lois@SuperiorAcrylic.com or Toll Free(877) 422-7954. Lois' company does magical things with acrylic and she'll have some great way to hold your balls.
Edit: I had posted an old phone number for Lois' company, which I have updated here.
I should be flogged for hanging on to a 2-year-old Sources issue.
