This a holiday kissing ball made with cranberries and mistletoe
Ingredients
- 5” foam ball shopping list
- Red acrylic craft paint shopping list
- 24-gauge beading wire shopping list
- Hot glue gun/glue sticks OR wooden toothpicks shopping list
- 1-2 (12-oz. bags) Ocean Spray- fresh cranberries shopping list
- Desired holiday trim: ribbon, mistletoe, holly, ivy, bells shopping list
How to make it
- Paint foam ball with red craft paint. Set aside to dry.
- Cut an 18" piece of wire and fold it in half. Push folded wire all the way through the center of foam ball, leaving a 1” wire loop extending at bottom of ball and 3” of wire extending at top.
- Using hot glue gun or toothpicks, attach cranberries to ball, covering it completely. Twist wires at top of ball into a simple hook for hanging. Use ribbon to tie mistletoe and other desired holiday trim to wire above and below ball, and hang with hook.
- Kissing ball will last several days. Discard once berries begin to soften. To extend the life of your decoration, you can spray with an even coating of shellac.
