How To Create A Christmas Kissing Ball

Last Updated on March 22, 2022

Learn to design a cute Christmas kissing ball that will add some sparkle to your holiday decor. It's easy to do once you learn the secret.

Christmas Kissing Ball

Wow! Sometimes simple is best. Here is a cool Christmas kissing ball design tutorial from Christopher Hiedeman that I really like.

Whether you are a veteran or a newbie do-it-yourself designer, this short video shows you how to make a kissing ball for the holiday season, even if you’ve never tried to make one before.

I think you are going to truly love this video, especially if you are really into quick and easy holiday decor ideas. Check it out and see if you agree!

Boom! I’m hopeful that you feel watching the video was time well-spent. I sure thought so.

Decorative kissing balls are perfect seasonal replacements for outdoor hanging baskets. They are also a great winter wedding decor idea. Simply choose ornaments that complement your wedding color or decor palette.

The one thing that I love about holiday designing is how cost-effective it can be. Most of the permanent materials, like pine garlands and wreaths, can easily be repurposed and used again in new holiday designs.

A kissing ball like this one is a perfect example of how to repurpose a pine garland.

If you don’t have any garland to use, don’t worry. The materials used to make this kissing ball can readily be found at almost any craft or big box store, like Michaels, Hobby Lobby, Home Depot, Dollar Tree, Walmart, among others.

Rather make a natural Christmas kissing ball?

If so, then you’re not alone. As a florist, I prefer working with natural materials, like assorted evergreen branches (pine, spruce, fir), pinecones, holly, and winterberry, as much as possible.

I ran a written tutorial showing you how to make a kissing ball using mostly natural materials, which can be sourced easily. It’s pretty much the way I learned and the way I continue to make them myself.

Using Cut Flowers in Kissing Balls

Cut flowers can be very effectively used in kissing balls. Some of my favorite kissing ball flowers include snowberries, hypericum berries, carnations and miniature carnations, button poms, and snowflake poms, which are all long-lasting flowers.

Howdy! This is Greg Johnson, the fella behind this website, and the reason this blog exists is for you to be able to access hundreds of incredible flowers videos. There’s not much more to say than that.

But look, before we begin, a confession is in order. To be perfectly honest, the main reason this site exists is a selfish one.

See, I really enjoy watching tutorials (like the Christmas kissing ball video you just watched), and I honestly just wanted a place where I could re-watch and share my favorites from one place.

With that said, I see a lot of opportunity in creating this site. Just thought you might appreciate the truth.

I love sharing great content, and I also enjoy earning sponsorship revenues and affiliate commissions… hopefully, you don’t see anything wrong with that.

I just wanted to disclose the fact that yes, I do make money from this site. Even so… in no way is it my intention to sell you anything.

If anything from any of my sponsors interests you, that’s a bonus! But if you’re just not interested, all’s still well. I just appreciate your readership.

I’m just cool with watching and sharing holiday floral design tutorials, like this Christmas Kissing Ball design video.

So that’s why FlowersFloralFlorist exists. It’s merely an “all under one roof” video resource for both myself and others who are interested in floral design tutorials. It’d be great to see you here again, if that sounds good.

So be sure to keep coming back! I’ll keep sharing more useful videos about flowers, weddings, and plants… and a lot more!
