Pomander/ Kissing Ball Tutorial

I'm sure this tutorial has been done to death

on every blog you read. But seeing it here,

on your favorite blog {wink-wink} is a lot

faster than following a bunch of links. Right?

Supplies:

 Styrofoam ball

Flower paper-punch

Straight pins with "pearl" ends

Pearlized paper {or any card stock paper. Make 

sure you have at least two sheets. Depending

on how large your Styrofoam ball is and how big

your flower punch is.}

Turn on your favorite teenage drama on Netflix.

My choice is The Secret Life of the American Teenager.

{I'm only on Season 4, so if you watch it and you're ahead,

don't spoil it!!} Then, start punching out your flowers.

If your styrofoam ball is the same size as mine, then 

you'll need the entire sheet of card stock and part of

another sheet.

After you have a lot of flowers done, separate the ones

that are badly cut from the perfect ones. Bend the 

perfect flowers' petals up and then layer on top of

a non-perfect flower. {I say non-perfect b/c

a lot of mine were cut at the edge of the paper,

so the petals weren't intact on some.} Then, pierce

both flowers through the center and stick into

your styrofoam ball. Like so..

Then stick another flower under the edge of the

bottom flower, layering the petals so no white shows 

through. Like this.

Then put another flower with the petals sticking out

on top. Repeat all over the ball. It's really 

very simple. But if you have any questions, just

e-mail me! :)

These make great spring decorations! But you can

use any colors you want or even patterned paper

to leave up all year round or change our each season!
Put them on candle holders like I did, or on top of 
a vase! A lot of people put them in a pretty 
bowl, but I didn't have one. LOL. :)
I hope y'all have fun making these!
