Ok I saw my friend's beautiful daughter Marika..... blinging up her baseball mitt.... (check her out on her Instagram, she is amazing) which reinspired me to bling, bling up a disco pickleball paddle of my own (I'd been threatening to make one to match the disco pickleball I made) .

Since I didn't think rhinestones would be very believe able for my fake pretend bling paddle, pivoting to mirror ball tiles was inevitable given my disco pickleball experience, and noting the smooth surface would be a better fit but boy was I righter than I even knew. It's WICKED COOL!

So cool I have to share it half done...progress video incoming.....

One more step to go, I have to put the outer layer rhinestones on the other side and some super practical edge guard I found!!

(disclaimer: I will never use this on a court lest I drop mirrorball tiles all over it...so PLEASE don't take this post as an invite to make these in order to PLAY WITH, because it's not.......playable at all) . What's it going to be then? ..... a trophy, a decoration or ????? What do YOU think it should be? I can tell you this much, it's pretty fun (if not messy and mildly dangerous) to make.

So anyhow, enjoy the fun and visit me on my Instagram or Facebook to stay looped! Rachael ;)
