A Classic Touch in a Compact Sphere
Invite guests in with a festive flourish. This 12-inch kissing ball is hand-crafted from fresh, aromatic evergreens for a lush, full look that suits porches, entryways, hall arches, and cozy indoor nooks. Its tidy globe shape delivers big holiday impact without taking up much space—perfect where a wreath won’t fit or when you want a vertical accent with natural fragrance.
Easy Care for Fresh, Long-Lasting Greens
Hang in a cool spot out of direct sun and away from heat sources like fireplaces or vents. Lightly mist the foliage every day or two to maintain moisture, letting it air-dry before the next misting. In covered outdoor locations, cooler temperatures naturally extend freshness; indoors, check more often and avoid strong drafts.

FAQs
What is a kissing ball and where does it look best?
A kissing ball is a globe of fresh greenery designed to hang vertically. It’s ideal under archways and porch ceilings, in entry halls, or displayed on a pedestal or stand as a centerpiece when hanging isn’t practical.
Can I use it indoors and outdoors?
Yes. It works beautifully in both. For the longest life, hang it outdoors in a covered, cool spot. Indoors, choose a location away from direct sunlight and heat sources to slow drying.
How do I hang it securely?
Attach with a strong ribbon or chain to a ceiling hook, porch hook, or removable adhesive hook rated for several pounds. If wind is a concern outdoors, shorten the hanging length to limit movement.
How do I keep it fresh?
Mist the greens lightly every day or two and avoid hot, sunny locations. Cooler temperatures help preserve color and needles. If displayed over a table, allow foliage to dry after misting before use.
Can I decorate it further?
Absolutely. Tuck in small ornament picks, pinecones, or battery-powered micro-lights. Secure additions with floral wire so they stay in place without compressing the greenery.
