Have you ever heard of kissing balls? I’m sure you’ve seen them before… either little flower girls carrying them down the aisle or a version of holly or mistletoe during the holidays. Well I love making flowered kissing balls as part of my home décor, especially to adorn the tops of large candlesticks. Super easy and cheap to make!

  • Fake bouquets of flowers from the Dollar Tree (6 total)
  • Two styrofoam balls
  • Scissors or wire cutters

kissing balls suppliesI trimmed each flower down to about a 3 inch stem. I used a pair of old scissors but wire cutters would probably work a little better.

Stick the stem straight into the foam balls and space them out a bit to let the petals and leaves hide the gaps. I varied the colors with different shades of pink as well to give the kissing balls a little depth.

    Sometimes it’s the easiest things that make the biggest impact – and the biggest moment for a reader to go “seriously that’s all it takes!? doing it.”

      Ha! I know what you mean! It’s always the DUH factor, like “DUH, I should’ve thought of that!”

    What size foam balls did you use for the size in the photo? I have some extra candlesticks laying around I haven’t done anything with in 6 months because I am a bit bored with standard pillar candles. I feel like I have so many of them! This is very refreshing!!!

      Thanks Beth! The balls are about 4 inches wide. I just made another set the other night for my dining room 🙂
