Make a Valentine's Day Kissing Ball

Why not take advantage of the abundance of roses available this time of year, and create a beautiful Valentine's Day Rose Kissing Ball? Get ready to pucker up!

Supplies for Kissing Ball: Styrofoam ball (choose one made from oasis or foam that can absorb water)/ roses ( 2-4 dozen depending on size of styrofoam ball)/ribbon in a variety of colors/cabinet knob with screw (for topper)/scissors and hot glue gun.

Choose roses that are just beginning to open.  For a pretty contrast mix dark pink and red roses together. Carnations, daises and mums are some other great floral options for a kissing ball.

Using sharp scissors, trim stem of each rose approximately 3/4 to 1 inch, cutting at an angle. This will allow the stems to absorb water from the Styrofoam.
