Description
A tape ball is a homemade ball made from layers of tape wrapped around a central core, typically a small rubber ball or a marble. Here's a detailed description:
- Core: A small, hard ball (like a marble or a small rubber ball) that serves as the center of the tape ball.
- Layers: Layers of tape (usually duct tape, electrical tape, or masking tape) wrapped tightly around the core.
- Size: The size of the tape ball can vary, but it's usually around 2-4 inches (5-10 cm) in diameter.
- Weight: The weight of the tape ball depends on the number of layers and the type of tape used, but it's generally heavy enough to be thrown and caught.
- Texture: The surface of the tape ball is smooth and slightly sticky due to the tape.
- Color: The color of the tape ball depends on the color of the tape used, but it's often a mix of colors due to the layered effect.
Tape balls are often used in informal games and activities, like throwing and catching exercises, or as a DIY alternative to traditional balls.
