Makeshift Mistletoe Kissing Ball

This Makeshift Mistletoe Kissing Ball is a seriously creative idea. With a few leaves and lots of color, this crochet Christmas decoration is unique and fun for parties. Drop a few from your ceiling in multiple places around the house to see how many people you can catch underneath it at any point in time. It can take the place of old school mistletoe that's going out of style and instead brings a pop of color in its place. See what you think of this super fun Christmas crochet pattern!

Im not very impressed with this project. The instructions are sketchy at best. Make a ruffled scarf using the suggested yarn. Ive worked with that yarn, and its not that quick to do. This project could just as easily be made up using commercial tinsel, a feather boa, or any number of other lengths of things. I was really disappointed with this. Its not exactly what I would consider a crochet project.
