How to Make a Magical Hanging Gnome Globe with LightsPicture this: a tiny gnome caught in a glowing globe, as if he’s traveling through a winter night sky.

The greenery at the top feels like a forest canopy, while the ornaments and crystals below look like stars trailing behind him.

Also, the gentle twinkle of fairy lights makes the entire piece shimmer, turning a simple corner of your home into a magical nook.

It’s the kind of decoration that feels like it has its own story to tell, one that kids especially will adore.

Materials Needed

  • 1 large wire globe or spherical lampshade frame (12”-16” diameter)
  • 1 Christmas gnome figurine (10”-12” tall)
  • Fresh or faux pine branches (6-8 pieces)
  • 8-10 assorted ornaments (small and medium sizes)
  • Crystal or beaded pendants (optional, for sparkle)
  • Fairy light string (6-8 ft, battery-operated)
  • Hot glue gun with glue sticks
  • Craft wire and scissors
  • Sturdy hook or ceiling hanger

Step-by-step Guide

Step 1: Begin by wrapping your wire globe frame with fairy lights. Then weave them evenly across the bars so the whole structure glows when lit.

Step 2: Add greenery to the top of the globe, arranging pine sprigs and eucalyptus for a lush effect. Secure with floral wire or hot glue.

Step 3: Place your gnome figure inside the globe.

You now position it so it looks centered and peeks out playfully through the wires. Secure with glue at the base if needed.

Step 4: Attach a cluster of ornaments around the top greenery. You can choose a mix of matte, shiny, and glittered finishes for dimension.

Step 5: For a dramatic finish, hang a few ornaments or crystal pendants from the bottom of the globe. This gives the whole piece movement and sparkle.

Step 6: Hang your finished globe from a ceiling hook or window frame.

Finally, switch on the lights, and watch the globe transform into a glowing lantern full of holiday cheer.

Tip:

If you want an even cozier glow, choose warm-white fairy lights instead of cool-white, they’ll make the gnome look like he’s basking in candlelight.
