A fun popular Christmas tradition is kissing under the mistletoe. A sprig of the plant or a kissing ball is hung at Christmas time and those caught standing beneath it can expect a kiss.
And for December, the Michaels Makers December Challenge is to
- make it joyful
- make memories
- make it simple
- make the season bright
- make it in 1-2-3
- make holiday magic
- make it fun
- make it in under 30 minutes
Making this magical mistletoe greenhouse checks nearly all of those boxes!
Display the magic of a romantic moment! What a treasure for merry memory making! And making up this mistletoe greenhouse centerpiece is as easy as 1-2-3. Let’s get started!
I used these supplies from Michaels Craft Store:
- glass jar with wide opening – I love this one with a cork lid!
- potted silk greenery
- faux white berries
- burlap ribbon and twine
- fairy lights and batteries
- stickers
- glue dots (or hot glue)
Tools I used:
- scissors
- wire cutters
Time it took me: 15-30 minutes
What I did:
- Cut a piece of burlap ribbon to fit around the bottom of the glass jar (to hide the light pack. Secure with glue and twine.
- Install batteries into fairy light battery pack and place into the bottom of the glass jar.
- Trim down faux plant if needed and add white berries. I cut them with wire cutters and inserted into styrofoam and place plant into bottom of the glass jar (in the center of the string of lights).
- Embellish with letter stickers spelling “mistletoe”.
I love the greenhouse look! The glass enclosure, cork lid and fairy lights make it more special than it’d be without, doesn’t it? It’s a unique specimen and a magical way to display a faux floral arrangement.
The holidays are a time for family, friends and memories.
The glow from lights on the tree, the aroma of Christmas cookies fresh from the oven or the perfectly wrapped gift – these are things that make the holiday merry.
And in a world where it’s become super-commercialized, it’s the time of year when a personal touch means so much.
