Outdoor Christmas Ornaments

Tabletop Globes

Ivory tapers in silver candlesticks
complete the Yuletide setting.

• For maximum reflection, place this tabletop display near sunlit windows. In one 7-inch and one 8-inch ivory glazed flowerpot, secure a collar of fern sprigs to florist's foam tucked inside.
• Top the 7-inch pot with an 8-inch teal globe and the 8-inch pot with a 10-inch red globe.

Fill spaces between globes with
garland, evergreen, or mistletoe.

• Fill a small glass vase or votive with purple glass ornaments. Nearby, place an 8-inch silver globe in the bottom of a glass hurricane vase and top with glass ornaments.
• On a glass pedestal, nestle several smaller glass globes around a larger gold globe and trim with evergreens. Hold globes in place with floral putty adhesive, such as Floralife Sure-Stik, available through florists and at crafts supply stores.

Add fresh flowers to an arrangement
of globes for a beautiful
centerpiece.

• Place a florist's frog in a sterling-silver serving dish or other shallow, watertight decorative container. Arrange and secure lilies with the florist's frog. Add water and surround stems with tiny glass ornaments.
• Because some glass ornaments may lose their color coating in water, purchase a box of bargain ornaments that can be discarded after the flowers fade.
