This is a perfect Valentine's Day gift but can have many uses. Fill it up with dreams for a new child, give it as a wedding gift. SEE ALL PHOTOS HERE
Gather your supplies. We bought our globe on Amazon here.
We chose to stain our base but you can paint it any color you wish.
Drill a small hole down into the CENTER of the base. This is where the hanging tab from the ornament will be glued.
Fold over the paper you choose and cut it into about 1/2" strips. Only go about 1/2" away from the fold.
Cut across below the fold.
Write your dreams, wishes, goals or anything else you want to manifest in your life.
Roll each paper up as tight as you can. A wood skewer works as does a large nail.
Fill your globe and snap it back together.
Place a dob of blue into the hole you drilled. It's ok if a small amount seeps over as it won't be seen.
Place the tab of your glob down into the base.
This is meant to be a decor item and gives positive vibes for your relationships or family. I could be opened years later.
