Surely you have a stash of fabric scraps and ribbon pieces somewhere…and these globes can be found just about anywhere right now…
I started by cutting and tearing up strips of fabric and ribbon. Mine were about 5 inches long, but the length will depend on the size of your globes.
Next, I cut a piece of picture wire about double the length of the top of the globe.
Then, I draped the cut scraps over my finger, strategically placing them so that the colors were spread out.
After I had gotten all the scraps on, I slid the wire underneath them…
so that the scraps were hanging from it.
Finally, I started pushing each piece into the hole being careful not to let go of the wire.
Once all the scraps were in, I bent the wire down over the sides of the globe and placed the metal hook back on top of the ornament.
(Note: If you aren’t completely satisfied with the placement of the scraps, use something long and narrow to move them around a bit while they are still inside the globe. I used a shish kabob scewer.)
To put it all together, I tied one last scrap around the hook.
I hope you find these to be as cheap and easy as I did! If you’re looking for another simple glass ornament idea, check out these easy photo ornaments I threw together a few years back.
