Centerpiece Ideas With Hurricane Globes

Surround candles with colored glass marbles inside your huricane globe.

Decorate your dinner table with a festive holiday centerpiece made with hurricane glass. This versatile globe can double as a safety glass for candles or a container for fresh cut or artificial flowers. Surround the base of the globe with different materials to achieve the holiday look.

Halloween

Create a centerpiece for your Halloween party using a hurricane globe. Braid orange and black streamers around the bottom of the globe, throw in some "eyes" and insert a black candle in the center. Or you can sponge white glass paint onto the globe, leaving eye holes, and insert a candle to create the effect of a ghost. Another option is to fill the globe with orange and black glass stones and insert glow sticks inside. Surround each centerpiece option with some Halloween masks and creepy crawlers to complete the look.

Fourth of July

Fill your hurricane globe with blue, red and white confetti before inserting a couple of decorated pinwheels with a small flag. Surround the globe with a garland of red and white carnations entwined with blue ribbon.

Thanksgiving

Create a Thanksgiving centerpiece using flowers and a hurricane globe small enough to allow conversation across the table. Insert tea lights inside the globe while you surround the outside with a garland of autumn's fragrant flowers. You may also decorate the inside of the globe with some different colored maize or lay tea lights on a bed of pumpkin seeds for a different look.

Christmas

Make your Christmas centerpiece special and fragrant. Add ivy inside the globe with a spiced candle and surround it with red berries and holly. Or you can group together different sized hurricane glasses filled with white candles and surround them with an ivy garland or Christmas tree branches. Consider using poinsettias inside a small globe with pine cones as the base. Wrap green and red ribbon around the bottom of the globe for a festive flair.
