I needed a centerpiece for my
kitchen island.
I had this great old
green iron Christmas Tree stand,
and this odd round wooden
wheel thing (that you have all seen before).
Decided to pair them together for a base.
Added a big glass globe vase on top
As soon as I attached the glass,
I added white tissue paper
to build it up inside a bit to
create a foundation for
the snow scene. The snow completely
covers the paper so you never see it!
Added some old bottle brush trees
and a couple of small flocked velvet
white deer in the yard and there you have it!
A water-less snow globe!

The lighted houses came from Lowe's last season. Their lights constantly fade into four colors! |

That is really cute, Alison! I love how you used the two pieces together to provide a base. Such a great project to do with kids, too, to make them feel a part of the decorating for the holiday.
ReplyDeleteSuch a sweet snow globe Alison.
ReplyDeleteThis is amazing!! You are so darn smart. I love how the pieces look like they were made for each other with a perfect fit. Cute cute!
