Old Swag Light globe repurposed into a Christmas centerpiece

by Pat aka Queen of Thrift

I found this gorgeous clear light globe with a swirl design for $10 at a flea market several years ago. I knew it would eventually be repurposed into something enjoyable.....and this year I turned it into a Christmas centerpiece for my dresser. I mingled some battery lights in with the ribbon just for fun. They don't show up up that well unless the room is dimly lit.
