Christmas cloches

 Here is a really nice decorating idea from Lucy at Craftberry Bush. She made a pretty Christmas cloche out of a repurposed thrift store clock and a terra-cotta plant pot saucer.  I'm not sure how easy to find those clocks would be, but her ideas for what to put inside would work with a purchased cloche as well.  The ornament on a snowy base as seen above is so pretty.

And here's another of Lucy's ideas:

The pine cone in snow is so simple, yet lovely.  

I don't own a cloche and haven't yet found any clocks to repurpose.  I do have a small cake dome that I got at Marshalls for $5 years ago, and I have had fun using that in a cloche-like manner.

Whether you repurpose a clock as Lucy did, improvise with a cake dome as I have done, or even if you own an actual cloche, have fun with these ideas!

    1. You're welcome, Vicki! I love cloches but the only one I own is this repurposed cake dome. I need to try and make my own as Lucy has done here.

  2. Good idea! Hadn't thought of that... not that I have a glass cake cloche, I have a Tupperware one.

  3. I have a glass cake dome and have never thought of using it as a cloche. I love your tea cup/teapot idea.

    1. Isn't that set sweet, Carrie? It was a gift from a friend and I enjoy using it in some way every Christmas.
