Kissing balls date back to Victorian times when apples or potatoes were outfitted with herbs, greens, and flowers; and hung up over doorways. It was said that those who lingered to share a kiss underneath were bound to settle down in marriage. Today, kissing balls are a beautiful decoration for your home around the holiday season. Hang them from the ceiling, on your front porch, or on a light fixture right in your entryway.
Our craft will be made from a variety of greens. We will supply the materials and tools; you will bring the creativity.
Supply Cost is $10. Limited to 15 participants. Sign up here.
