The elegant glass bells are versatile and usually serve as mini display cases for collectibles, plants or seasonal decorations. Here you will find a few beautiful examples of how you can decorate a glass bell to give the proud display object a Christmas atmosphere.
Turn a bell jar upside down and balance it on a teacup so it doesn't tip over. Fill with Christmas balls. Place a plate or tray on the opening and carefully turn it over.
Chooseclassic Christmas decorationsin the festive Christmas colors – red, green and gold. This arrangement sits proudly on sideboards, consoles and dressers and is beautifully complemented by red beaded garlands and pine branches.
It's a good idea if the Christmas balls repeat a few colors from the decor. For example, these colorful cushions on the sofa in blue, fuchsia and red.
The small arrangement under the glass hood tells a story. Moss, leaves painted with gold glitter, a poinsettia in a pot, mushroom and bird figures are skillfully put together to depict a beautiful forest landscape.
Battery-operated LED fairy lights can be added to any arrangement because they do not require a power outlet. Placed under a glass hood, they present themselves as a mysterious exhibition object.
If you don't like it so colorful, then you can limit your Christmas decorations to just two colors - white and silver. Arrange small white Christmas trees of varying sizes and shiny silver Christmas balls on a round silver tray. Speaking of which, you can make these Christmas trees yourself from round bottle brushes.
Under the glass hood you can quickly put small things together to create a festive whole. Small green fir trees and a moose figure form a beautiful winter landscape. Good idea for last minute Christmas decorations.
Glass bell jars keep insects away from food and prevent aromas from spreading throughout the room. But they can also have a decorative function on the table. A small gift under a glass dome adds a touch of the sublime and has a special effect.
Of course, real candles cannot burn under a glass hood, but they can look like an art object. If the white pillar candle is too simple for your taste, you can decorate it with various stickers. LED candles are also good for this purpose.
No matter what decorative item you choose, it would be nice if you make a base for it, for example, shredded coconut, moss or artificial snow.
Less is more. If you like minimalism then this idea would be perfect for you. The evergreen branch in a spherical glass vase is so beautiful and natural that it doesn't need to be smothered by other colorful Christmas decorations.
Plates, kitchen plates and trays are often used as a platform for the glass hood. Use a cake stand to showcase the contents in a special way.
If you want a natural or vintage-looking Christmas decoration, then small wooden figures and fir branches would be the perfect decorative items to place underneath.
We have already presented the craft idea with string, balloons and glue several times. You can use the same technique to make the body of this snowman. Let your imagination run wild to design the upper body yourself. The small Styrofoam balls round off the overall picture nicely.
If your glass hood has a metal handle that has been additionally installed, you can achieve this beautiful “floating” effect by attaching the ribbons of the Christmas ornaments to the screw.
Fill the glass dome with large and small pine cones that you collected from the park or forest over the weekend. For a shiny effect, you can paint a few cones with glitter paint.
Decorative Christmas trees made of brass look beautiful under the graceful glass bells. If you arrange the glass hoods in a group, choose a material or color so that the overall picture appears harmonious.
