Easter Centerpiece Cloche


This is such an easy centerpeice idea that can be rotated throughout the year for any occasion! You will need a few basic pieces to get started.

A Large Glass Cloche. You can get these anywhere these days.  You will also need a pedestal for the star piece in your display. I used my husbands great grandmothers crystal candy dish.

You will need a base for the cloche to sit on and also help with easy transporting from table to counter, etc..... I used an old vintage silver platter/charger.

Now for the Easter theme you will need a few decorative pieces to place inside the cloche.
 

Straw Duckies, and Ceramic Bunny                   Moss, and Candy Bird Eggs

Layer the grass on the platter, then place the candy dish, platform in the middle. Then begin layering your decorative pieces throughout. Keep the edges of the platter clear so you can place the Cloche directly over your creation!  

Happy Easter!

Holiday Cloche Centerpiece

Holiday center peices are very personal and can be made with anything you feel sentimental about to keep it personal.
      ITEMS:
Cloche                                                           
Greenery ( fake)
Ribbon
Large ornament
An ornament stand
Platter to go under cloche
hot glue
fake snow
tiny holiday toys or ornaments 
 Start with a simple ornament stand. There are lots of options for these.
Then take a simple platter and hot glue the bottom of the stand to the platter. 
 Cover it with fake snow, to hide the base.
 Now take your large ornament and tie a loop at top with ribbon or wire to hang the ornament on the hook of the stand.

 I also add a pretty fluffy bow to the hook to hide the loop on the ornament.

Hang ornament, and add little toys, and ornaments to the snow.
Add Cloche!
 Here is one I did with a Santa ornament we've had for almost 30 years!
  Embellish the cloche with a little ribbon, greenery, glass ornaments, and tiny toys. (I also added a crystal drop from a chandelier!)
 
Add ornaments, etc all around the platter so the view is pretty for all sides.
 NOTE - I also add a tiny drop of hot glue to the cloche base and platter to seal it for easy transport from the table at dinner time. I do a drop in 3-4 different areas.
