Back in the Fall, I bought a clear glass globe at a garage sale for $1. I have certainly enjoyed my money's worth from that thing! I used it on our mantel for Fall and Christmas decorations. I filled it with leaves and twigs and "fallish" stuff and then I filled it with pine and winter berries and "Christmassy" stuff. When it was time to put away the seasonal decor, I couldn't bring myself to pack it away. I needed color on my mantel anyway, so I went looking for purple "filler" at Hobby Lobby. The only thing I could find in the right color was a bag of potpourri mix. And, of course, there was only one bag left. I knew it wouldn't be enough, but then I remembered an idea I saw on Pinterest about using a toilet paper roll or paper towel roll to help fill space. Voila! Problem solved. BUT, what I like even better is this idea for using a can. It fills even more space and it eliminates the problem of a wobbly candle. It also brings the candle up to the top of the globe very nicely. Now as soon as I find a candle to go in mine, I'll be trying this new little trick!
