At least I think it’s called a kissing ball!! Correct me if I’m wrong. My mom has a cream one that I love. So I was trying to come up with a way to make one on the cheap and when I opened my hall closet and decided it looked so nicely oragnized a bit messy, and started moving things around, I came upon my bag of “dead” tennis balls. {yep, I’m a tennis player}. And it hit me, these would be perfect for a kissing ball. So I grabbed my nifty hot glue gun, some fall silk flowers, and transformed one of these sad little balls into a beautiful fall decoration.
Linking up with these parties:
Transformation Thursday
Metamorphisis Mondays
and

Hi! I'm Linda, the craft addict behind Craftaholics Anonymous®, a craft blog. Crafting is cheaper than therapy, right? When I'm not DIYing something, I can be found taxiing around our 4 crazy kids or working out. Or shoe shopping... because you can never have too many shoes! Happy crafting! ♥

Awesome! Thanks for the heads up on that creative "ball." I added it to the post. Thanks.
It looks so great and it's easy. I love it. I guess I need to get out my glue gun. Thanks for sharing.
What a perfect size for a kissing ball and if it isn't a true kissing ball, it should be – I love that idea!!
Happy Tuesday –
adorable!
Such a cute idea, I love the kissing ball for this time of year, why not, it is perfect…I am a new follower of yours and I will return, come visit
Way too cute!!! Thanks soooo much for sharing your neat idea.

How cute!!
Very cute, but I have never heard of a kissing ball!! The other thing old tennis balls are great for is for stretching tense back muscles. You take two and put them on the floor and lie on them with one on either side of the spine. You roll on them until you find a place that it hurts–if it hurts you know you have some tight muscles. Just lie there for a time..then move to a new spot. Works great.
I think it would be super cute in the dark plums and purples and blacks too.
thanks for posting to the party.
