What to do with a Cloche


I won this gorgeous cloche from Martina at Northern Nesting and ever since then, I've been trying to come up with an idea of what to display...



At Christmas, I bought a whole lot of vase fillers that were on sale at Superstore.  I jammed as many of the grapevine balls into this cloche as I could, but something was still lacking.

Then I came across teeny, tiny battery operated led light strings and I was in love.  I wound the light string around the balls and sat the cage on a square of burlap.  I tied a teensie black lace ribbon around the base of the little bird and VOILA!  I have a little night light that is perfectly lovely.


Cheers!

  54. You know Anne, I am cloche challenged. Maybe if I had a cute one like yours I would be inspired to make them cute. My glass cheese domes turned cloches sit empty.

    Thanks for linking up.
