Easy Homemade Juggling Balls
I have taught many people to make juggling balls, and I would love to share with you how to make your own!
I grew up in a family of jugglers. Friday night was our family night, and each week we would head out to grab dinner then make our way over to join our friends at the local juggling club for a night of ball tossing, club throwing, unicycling, and whatever other fun juggling-related activities we felt like pursuing. We also participated in other juggling events, shows, festivals, and workshops. A favorite was always World Juggling Day in June. On World Juggling Day our group of jugglers would meet together at a local park to juggle all day. This would, of course, attract a lot of spectators and generate a lot of interest in what we were doing. We jugglers were prepared for this and offered anyone who was interested a chance to learn to juggle. We would even send them home with a set of their very own handmade juggling balls made from recycled tennis balls. Follow the simple steps below to make your very own set of juggling balls!

- This is a super great page! Wow - in all this time, I have never seen how you do this! Thanks for showing me how to make juggling balls of my very own! Yay. Great photos too!!
We went to a big juggling festival in Portland, Or one year (I think it was the International event) -- really some of the most fun I have EVER had. If everyone juggled, the world would be a much more enjoyable place.

- What a great idea and terrific lens. I love Juggling Fridays. Sometimes I think we've lost a lot in a culture with the emphasis on TVs and movies, all so passive. It's great to hear about your juggling. ;)
