If you haven’t noticed, I love Christmas AND I love cloches. I used my cloche collection this year when decorating for fall and Halloween so I thought I’d carry on and decorate my mantel for Christmas with them too. It’s the perfect fit as the cloches look just like giant snow globes!

Fir Christmas garland hung along fireplace mantel and large cloches that look like snowglobes and 4 linen stockings and vintage bells.

To make these cloches look like large snow globes, I added buffalo snow (not the flake kind but the kind that’s like cotton batten) to the base. Then I added bottle brush trees and pushed the base through the buffalo snow. In some of the cloches, I added wrapped boxes and added red velvet and plaid ribbon to them. The last step was wrapping the gifts and trees with LED mini lights to get the full Christmas effect.

In two of the large cloches, I added buffalo snow to the very top to look like clouds.

I bought two sets of these vintage-looking bells last year and I was so excited to use them this year.

  3. The mantel is so pretty with the different cloches. How did you get the cotton to stick to the tops of the glass globes?
