Evergreen Kissing Ball

.... well it's not mistletoe.. but it'll work.

Here's what you need.
1 evergreen ball ($3.60 at Michael's with my 40% off coupon)
@ 3 yards of ribbon (The ribbon I used was from a package I got at Christmas last year, so I am recycling it.)
small ornaments ($5.00 Target, used for 2 projects)
&
floral wire

As you can see from the previous pictures, I had planned to use the red
gingham ribbon, but later changed my mind. I attached the bulbs with wire.
I replaced the long red ribbon that came attached to the ball with the
white ribbon. I also attached a long piece of white ribbon folded in 1/2,
then tucked into the bottom of ball. (Note, iron ribbon first.. he, he..)



I made two bows, and attached to the top of ball with more wire.


All finished!!....

There are so many ways you can dress up these evergreen balls!!

I'm excited to hang this up!!

Purty!
I love it. You did a great job. It will look great in your foyer. Much better without the red.
