How to make

Step 1

To start, cut your wired roses leaving about 1cm of wire from the head, as this will help place the roses into the polystyrene ball more securely.

Step 2

All the way around the middle of your ball, place your flowers into the polystyrene. Once happy with the spacing of the flowers, use your glue gun to glue in place.

Step 3

Repeat step 2, placing more flowers above and below the first line of flowers securing with a glue gun. Fill the ball until you are left with a small space at the top.

Step 4

To hang the kissing ball take a piece of ribbon and fold it in half, using a pin to collect the two ends of the ribbon and place into the top of the polystyrene ball. Glue to secure.

Step 5

Once your ribbon is secure, place your last flower next to the ribbon to hide the join.

Step 6

To add detail to your kissing ball, use wired crystals randomly placed in between the flowers. Use the wire they're on to place into the polystyrene ball and glue into place.
