DIY Peppermint Kissing Ball

I'm going to admit something that my little sister would say to be to much information. I love to kiss my boyfriend! And we love to find excuses to kiss. But with mistletoe being in such short supply in my area I had to come up with an alternative. So here it is the fabulous and easy Do It Yourself Peppermint Kissing Ball!

Tools and Materials

• 5in Styrofoam ball
• Lots of Starlight Peppermints
• Ribbon (your choice)
• Glue Gun and Glue Sticks
• Pins
• Scissors

How-To

Glue Peppermints

• Plug in your glue gun and let it heat up.
• Unwrap the peppermints. Or if they are in the wrappers with the twisted ends you could leave them wrapped for a different look.
• Take a peppermint and hot glue the back. Then immediately attach to the ball. Repeat this while having the peppermints fit as closely together as possible.
• When the ball is covered cut a length of ribbon. (This all depends on how high or low you would like the ball to hang.
• Hot glue one end of the ribbon to the ball. Then loop the other end to the same place on the ball and hot glue again. Use pins to secure it in place.
• Cut another piece of ribbon and make a bow. Tie it to the loop on the ball and secure with hot glue.



Sticking In Pins

• Finlay let everything dry and hang wherever you would like.

Whether you kiss under it or just use it as a fun decoration is up to you.


One this about the kissing ball. After I had made this post and had hung it outside it rained. And even though it was under my covered porch it melted. Probably from the humidity. So don't put it outside!!
