SIZE GUIDE
25mm = 2.5cm or 1 inches tall
40mm = 4cm or around 1.5 inches tall (the size of a ping pong/table tennis ball)
70mm = 7cm or just under 3 inches tall (the closest size to a tennis ball)
80mm = 8cm or just over 3 inches tall (popular for small sweet trees!)
120mm = 12cm or just under 5 inches tall (popular for medium sized sweet trees / an average grapefruit size)
200mm = 20cm which is just a fraction smaller than a football
* Please note that on the very large 30cm and 40cm Balls we can not guarantee that they are completely solid in the core of the ball.
This means that if you are cutting them in half or carving deep shapes into them, then you could encounter beading where the polystyrene hasn't fused together properly. They are still perfect for covering & painting and for carving surface detail into, but we can not guarantee a clean cut / finish if you are cutting towards the core of the ball.
We do sell half solid balls and they may be better for you! - click here.
