Hershey's Kissletoe Ball
Wire coat hanger
4 - 6 or 8 inch foam ball
Aluminum foil (optional)
3 to 6 bags (13-oz. each) Hershey's Kisses Chocolates (Holiday Colors)
(size of ball determines how many bags are needed)
Glue (low heat gun, glue stick or confectioners' glue)
Toothpicks
4 yards (1 inch wide) holiday ribbon
1. Straighten the wire hanger; insert one end through the center of the foam ball. Clear 6 inches of wire through opposite end; bend a hook at least 1 inch in length. Pull wire back up through hole, securing hooked end into bottom of foam ball. Determine desired length of top wire. Bend loop at end to form hanger. (Tip: Hang on ladder or clothes rod to decorate.).
2. Cover ball with aluminum foil, if desired. Cover ball by gluing green foil-wrapped Kisses with the flat end to the surface of the ball. Decorate with remaining silver and red Kisses by inserting end of toothpick into the side of Kiss; insert other end into ball, filling in the gaps. Alternate colors and angles.
3. Finish by attaching a large bow on top and loops of ribbon on the bottom. Completed craft is for decoration; candy should not be eaten.
A Hershey's Craft
ANOTHER IDEA !
Before starting, cut the styrofoam ball in half, then complete (without using the coat hanger.) After completed, glue a lace doiley to the back of the ball. You can then take the coat hanger and bend it in half. Decide how long you want the hanger (add two inches to each leg of the hanger), then cut off access. Then bend the extra 2 inches of the points inward, insert the points into the back of the ball and you have a hanger. You can then hang the "Half Ball" on the wall.
