Winter Lanterns & Ice Globes

By Lisa VanWilliams

We love the warm glow of these lanterns and globes. You can pair them up and group them in an area like a bay window, a dark corner, the base of a stairwell with a high ceiling, a reading nook, or over the bed or canopy. You can use them year round, or add in a few stars and lights at Christmas time.  You can create a few different looks with these from a Christmas glow show, to a Bali Beach resort retreat depending on how you do it.

Better Home and Gardens has this great scene created by Karin Lidbeck-Brent in the December 2014 edition that just came out. These are ice globe lanterns made by Wintercraft and you can buy a kit for $17.99 to make these little gems. These are creative ice globes that come in various sizes and you can put a candle or LED light in them. Great for outdoor and indoor use all year round.  Find out more on their website here:
