My local Michael’s had the clear, plastic globe ornaments on sale this month. Like seriously almost free on sale. I kept eyeing those balls every time I walked into the store, and truth be told, I was there every day for about a week so I was staring them down quite a bit.
Those clear little balls held so much inspiration for holiday decorating and everyday celebrations, that I haven’t been able to get them off my mind. I’m still thinking of all the ways I could use them on our Christmas tree and at parties year round.
I know some people hate those clear globes, but take a look at my list of clear globe ornaments 10 ways. It just might change your mind.
