Snow globes: Creating a Christmas Wonderland - part 2

1 [2] 3

You get the idea. Because it's going to be a focal point, your eye should be naturally drawn to the area you choose to place your display. Don't choose an area that is hidden. For example, a spot behind the door or in an out of sight location would not be the ideal place for your display. Sounds funny, but it's been know to happen.

Consider the table, shelf, curio cabinet or storage unit

Now that you've chosen the location, it's time to take into consideration the physical object you will be placing your water globe display on. Ask yourself a few key questions such as:

1) Do I need to place a decorative tablecloth over the table in order to create a more festive backdrop?

please note:

a) Oftentimes the right tablecloth or covering can make the difference between having a nice display and having that WOW factor.

b) I always recommend some form of festive covering on your display table or shelf.

c) Think outside the box when it comes to types of coverings:

Example:

1. use a yard of decorative fabric and cut to size

2. use a festive tablecloth (cut to size)

3. use an old holiday blouse, sweater or scarf (cut to size)

4. use a silk red, gold, or green sheet (cut to size) etc.

The possibilities are endless. Just don't limit yourself to traditional table covering.

2) Based on the size of my table, shelf, curio, etc., approximately how many accessories will it take to fill the space?

please note:

This is good to know prior to shopping because if your budget permits, you may want to display a collection of water globes.

3) Do I have enough space for tall items or wide items only? Can I use a combination of the two?

Try to ask and answer as many question as possible about your display space as you can think of. The purpose of this is to eliminate the guest work prior to making your first purchase. The more you pre-think about what you can and can not do, the easier it will be for you to make the right snow globe or water globe selection.

O.K., now that you have chosen the location of your focal point, it's time to shop for that perfect snowglobe to take center stage and be the star of the show. To keep your cost down, we'll start out by purchasing just one globe and accessorize with other figurines or complementary items found around your home.
