You'll never believe what item from your refrigerator crisper drawer is used to make these gorgeous winter decorations!
The tradition behind the kissing ball is to pick a berry every time you receive a smooch! There is the method of using an oasis block to make them where you cover the foam with moss and start sticking your cuttings. But that's not how they USED to make them!
The traditional method uses one of these!! Yes, an apple. AND plenty of fresh herbs so that it's super fragrant and nice smelly ;)
