Description
This clear glass Christmas tree decoration is a round bauble with a tiny winter scene inside: a little brown squirrel holding a dark frosted pine cone sits beside a green bottle-brush tree, both on a flat round base scattered with white snow-effect flakes. The globe is clear all the way round, so the scene stays in view from every side as it turns gently on its branch. It hangs from a pale grey ribbon tied through a small glass loop at the top, and it measures 19cm high overall and 9.5cm across and deep.
Hang it near the front of the Christmas tree, where the lights can catch the glass and the squirrel faces the room. It is just as happy on a garland along the mantelpiece, on a bare branch arrangement in a vase, or from a hook in a window, where daylight falls softly around the scene. Because it brings a quiet woodland note rather than bright colour, it sits well among natural greenery, pine cones and plain glass baubles, and suits a tree dressed in greens, browns and whites. At Christmas it also makes a thoughtful small gift, easy to wrap and lovely tucked in with a card.
The globe is glass, with a smooth round body and a small glass loop at the top that carries the ribbon. Glass needs a careful hand, so choose a sturdy branch where it will not knock against its neighbours. To keep it bright, dust the outside with a soft dry cloth, or wipe it with a slightly damp cloth and dry it straight away. When the season is over, wrap it in tissue and store it upright in a box so the scene stays tidy. For a simple woodland tree, we like it hung among clear and frosted baubles with a few real pine cones tucked into the branches.
