Instructions
Attached your ribbon to the grapevine ball by slipping one end under one of the vines and tie it, leaving space for hanging, and then either tie a bow at the top or a knot. If you tie a knot then you can move the knot under the grapevines, leaving a smooth loop for hanging.
Set the ball on a cup or small jar to make it easier to decorate.
Start with larger pieces of greenery such as seeded eucalyptus and glue it around the top of the ball near the ribbon.
Add mini pinecones, berries, and other materials in and around the eucalyptus.
Hang and admire your creation.
Notes
You could hang the kissing ball somewhere in the house on the ceiling just like mistletoe.
