"Upcycle" Your Holiday Greens into a Valentine Kissing Ball!

By Ann Fisk, Franklin MK Publisher January 26, 2013

If you have not had the heart (no pun intended) to discard your Christmas Kissing Ball because it still looks healthy, you could quickly turn it into a ‘recycled’ Valentine’s decoration.

I simply pulled out the pine cones and holiday baubles from my ‘expired’ decoration, and inserted  a few picks and heart ornaments that I picked up at the local craft store.  I probably could have re-purposed some Christmas ornaments, if I had not already packed them away!

If your ball is in a covered space, you may want to try having your kids make construction paper hearts and cupids to embellish yours.

If it is still looking green after V-Day, perhaps it could evolve into a “Kiss Me, I’m Irish” kissing ball!
