St. Patties Day Kissing Ball

Here’s a fun little St. Patrick’s Day craft you can do in about an hour. I call it a St. Patrick’s Day kissing ball, but you can call it whatever you want. I’m thinking it’s so cute, I’ll leave it out all spring.

I found my little green flowers at Michael’s craft store in the wedding section. They are meant for confetti I think.

I also picked up some green ribbon from Michaels with a green circle pattern on them and a foam ball in the floral aisle.

I put one coat of Rust-oleum Camouflage on it that we had left over from our train table project. It dried almost instantly on the ball.

Then I started gluing the flowers directly to the foam ball with the ol’ hot glue gun. I think I only used one stick of glue for the project. Not bad! After all the flowers were glued on, I glued on my ribbon.

Here is the finished ball hanging over the doorway between our entryway and living room. It’s so pretty and reminds me of a preserved boxwood topiary. But mine has shimmers of gold in it. You know, like the pot of gold at the end of a rainbow? Nothing says St. Patrick’s Day more than a pot of gold.
