How to Print Custom Ping Pong Balls

Stamp

• 1

  Draw a design onto an eraser that will fit onto the surface or your balls. It's best to keep the design as simple as possible using well-defined shapes or simple block text.

• 2

  Cut around your design carefully with a craft knife and remove the excess rubber around it.

• 3

  Dip your design into some ink and test stamp on a piece of paper to remove excess ink.

• 4

  Place one end of your stamp onto the surface of a ping-pong ball and roll it slowly across so the design is transferred evenly.

  Put the balls aside to dry.

Marker Pen and Paint

• 5

  Sketch out a rough plan of the design you want to draw onto your ping-pong balls on paper. It's important to use marker pens with a fine tip as you have a relatively small amount of space to work with on the surface of the balls. Experiment with a few different ideas before settling on your final design. You might want to cover the balls with an intricate pattern or just stick with a logo or block of text. You can also use acrylic paint with a fine brush.

  Wipe over your balls with the cloth to make sure they are free of dirt and debris and dry.

• 7

  Draw your design onto the balls.

• 8

  Put the finished balls to one side to dry. The pen's packaging will indicate a recommended drying time.
