Pine Cone Kissing Ball
Supplies:
3 Inch Round Styrofoam Ball
Mini Pine Cones
White Berries or Beads
1/4 Inch Wide Ribbon
Decorative Ribbon of Choice
Hot Glue Gun and Glue
Small Piece of Mistletoe
Craft Project Instructions:
Using hot glue, cover the entire ball with pine cones.
Make small bows using a 1/4 inch ribbon [number required will vary]. I used about 20 bows and berries.
Randomly glue a bow and a berry as shown in photo over the pine cone covered ball.
Create a hanger and bow with decorative ribbon and glue to the top center of your ball.
Glue a piece of mistletoe to either the top center or bottom center of your ball and that's it, you're all done!
Variations:
If you're short on time, replace the handmade bows with small silk readymade bows.
I did made pine cones 2 year ago. I putting the Gold glitter spray paint on it and little rose on it. I bought scent cinnamon pine cones at Walmart . It is so beautiful and smell good... I put Pine cones on the xmas tree....
Hi,
Would you please tell me a source where i can purchase mini pine cones for the Pine Cone Kissing Ball project ?
Thanks
Wow, I love this! I won't be putting the bows on because I don't care for the upside-downess of them but the little roses in the picture were darling. The beads and berries weren't visible on my computer but they sound good too. What do you think of maybe putting a few pearls in there? Oh, what a fun and special project. Thanks.
Pearls would make a lovely embellishment for this!
