How to Create a Festive Planter with a Glowing Twig Sphere

How to Create a Festive Planter with a Glowing Twig SphereImagine walking up your path at dusk and seeing a glowing orb of twigs perched like a winter moon above evergreen boughs.

It feels both natural and magical, branches and leaves cradling a ball of light that warms the cold season.

This planter has an enchanting presence, turning a simple corner into a winter fairytale.

Materials Needed

  • 1 large twig or grapevine sphere (18–24” diameter)
  • Urn-style planter (about 20-24” tall, with weighted base)
  • Fresh evergreen branches (cedar, pine, or fir, enough to fill the planter)
  • Magnolia leaves or other broad, glossy foliage (10-15 pieces)
  • Natural accents: dried seed pods, pinecones, or ornamental picks
  • Warm white string lights (battery-operated, 100-150 lights)
  • Floral foam or soil

Step-by-step Guide

Step 1: Start by filling your urn planter with floral foam or soil, packing it firmly so the branches will stay secure.

Step 2: Arrange the evergreen branches around the base, letting them drape naturally over the edges for a full, cascading effect.

Step 3: Layer in magnolia leaves and seed pods, tucking them between the evergreens for contrast in color and texture. This creates a rich, dimensional base.

Step 4: Place the twig sphere securely on top, ensuring it sits evenly.

For added stability, you can use floral wire or discreet stakes to attach it to the planter.

Step 5: Wrap the string lights around and through the twig sphere, weaving them inside so the glow feels like it’s radiating from within.

Also, hide the battery pack under greenery at the base.

Step 6: Step back and adjust the greenery, pulling a few branches forward or trimming edges until the planter feels lush and balanced.

Note:

If you want to elevate the magic, add a dusting of faux snow or glitter spray on the evergreens for a frosty effect.
