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!
