Imagine walking into a room where snow-kissed globes hang gently, filled with pinecones, frosted branches, and soft white blooms.
They feel like ornaments from a winter wonderland, only larger and more dramatic.
Plus, these hanging pieces create dimension, catching your eye from every angle, and the cascading beads and ribbons add a touch of movement.
Making them becomes its own little ritual: gathering textures, layering greenery, and letting your imagination play.
Once in place, they instantly shift the atmosphere, suddenly, your home feels like a winter ballroom where every detail whispers Christmas magic.
Materials Needed
- 2-3 large foam craft balls (8”-10” diameter)
- White textured spray paint or plaster coating
- Artificial pine sprigs (10-12 small pieces)
- 1-2 faux pinecones (medium size, frosted or glittered)
- Artificial flowers (white poinsettias or roses, 6-8 blooms)
- Gold and silver accent picks (leaves, berries, or twigs)
- Hot glue gun and glue sticks
- Clear beaded garlands or crystal strands (-3 ft)
- Ribbon or twine (2-3 ft per globe)
- Craft knife and scissors
Step-by-step Guide
Step 1: Begin by coating your foam balls with textured spray paint or plaster to give them that frosted snow look. Let them dry completely before moving on.
Step 2: Cut a small, flat surface on the top of each globe using a craft knife. This creates a stable base for your arrangement.
Step 3: Start layering in artificial greenery, pine sprigs, and faux flowers. Then angle some outward so the arrangement feels full and natural, not too compact.
Step 4: Add larger accents like pinecones or big faux ornaments near the center, then tuck in golden leaves or silver berry picks for sparkle.
Step 5: For movement and elegance, attach strands of clear beads or crystal garlands to the bottom. These will catch the light and shimmer beautifully.
Step 6: Secure a strong ribbon or twine into the top of the globe using hot glue. Tie it into a loop for hanging.
Step 7: Hang your globes at staggered heights, either indoors by a window or outside under a porch roof.
Now you can step back and adjust the greenery until each globe feels balanced and lush.
Tip:
For an extra frosty glow, place a battery-operated LED tea light inside the foam ball before sealing. The soft illumination makes the globe sparkle at night.
