Does anyone remember the kissing balls that were popular in the 60's and 70's? They were made with a styrofoam ball, medicine cups and sequins? I have been wanting to make one and don't know where to find the sequins. Any help would be appreciated. The sequins were large, circular, and fan folded. Thanks.

I googled it and couldn't find any that use the little medicine cups. I think I remember them from the 60's though.

For the little cups, perhaps a party supply store might have something similar.

I remember last year when my daughter was doing health homework (they were learning about the opposite gender's reproductive system) and she wanted to use the internet to Google some of the stuff she didn't understand I am sooooooooooooo glad that she announced her intentions. My oldest nearly hit the floor laughing. Hubby just shook his head. She didn't understand what the problem was.

Now I am going to check out some of these links, because I can't visualize what this is...
ETA: none of those helped me. Except now I know what fan folded sequins looks like. I can't picture the cups part. Did anyone's kid have a "bumble ball"? because that is what keeps springing to my mind. What is this kissing ball supposed to look like? Because this can't be right.....

Well, this thread just took me into a spin of laughter. I know it wasn't meant to be, but what a nice way to start the morning.
