Hanging Blooms

There is something truly enchanting about these glass flower spheres; they significantly enhance the ambiance of the sukkah, whether adorned with fresh or artificial flowers. Their presence elevates the overall aesthetic in a remarkable way, and they are surprisingly easy to recreate. If you are seeking a single upgrade this year, consider incorporating the flower ball into your decor.

🧰 What You'll Need
Hanging glass globe terrariums (with twine or fishing line)
Preserved or faux moss / reindeer moss
Small dried or silk flowers: mini roses, baby's breath, wax flower, dried hydrangea florets
Eucalyptus or ruscus sprigs
Floral wire cutters or small sharp scissors
Long tweezers or a chopstick
Hot glue gun (low temp) or floral putty
Optional: white sand, small pebbles, or a drop of glass cleaner

📋 Step-by-Step
1. Clean the glass first. Wipe the inside and outside with glass cleaner and a lint-free cloth. Once flowers go in, you can't reach the fingerprints. Handle globes by the hanging loop from here on.
2. Build your base layer. Drop a small amount of moss (or white sand/pebbles) through the opening — just enough to cover the bottom curve, about ½ to 1 inch deep. Use tweezers or a chopstick to spread it evenly. This hides stems and gives the arrangement something to sit against.
3. Trim stems very short. Cut each flower stem to roughly 1–1.5 inches. Long stems will not bend inside a globe and will look crowded. Trim on an angle so the ends tuck into the moss easily.
4. Set your focal flower. Choose one slightly larger bloom per globe (a mini rose or dried hydrangea head) and place it just off-center, facing the opening. Push the stem gently into the moss with tweezers. This is the flower people will see first, so angle it forward.
5. Add filler around it. Tuck 2–3 smaller flowers and 1–2 greenery sprigs around the focal bloom at slightly different heights. Work from the back forward. Leave breathing room — an airy arrangement photographs far better than a packed one.
6. Secure everything. Add a tiny dot of low-temp hot glue or floral putty under the moss base to anchor it. Turn the globe slowly upside down to test — nothing should shift.
7. Check the "front." Hold the globe at eye level by its loop and rotate it. Choose the prettiest angle and note which way the opening faces so all globes hang consistently.

🪢 Hanging Tips
Use jute twine for a rustic look or clear fishing line for a floating effect.
Cut twine in varying lengths (for example 8", 12", 16", 20") and alternate them so globes stagger rather than line up.
Space globes 10–14 inches apart so they don't knock together in wind.
Tie to the sukkah ceiling slats with a double knot plus a small loop, or use removable adhesive hooks on a pergola.
