Although these containers resemble snowballs, they're not for throwing, but for packaging small presents.
Snowball Box How-To
Start with wooden globe boxes from crafts stores. With pinking shears, cut a circle of card stock for the base. Make leaves using felt (see Napkin Holder How-To). Working over a paper plate and in sections, paint ball halves with craft glue; sprinkle with clear glass glitter. Apply glue and glitter to base and leaves. Glue base to ball. String a jingle bell onto a ribbon; tie a bow. Glue leaves and bow to snowball. Fill with loose tinsel to support gift.
Snowball Box

I am trying to find these boxes and the horse and sleigh with no success.
What department at Micahel's? I can't find them.
I love these. They look so elegant. You could probably make these out of sugar...like the eggs they make out of sugar packed into a mold.

I have seen them at Michael's craft store, and this looks like a cute idea for packaging jewellery. I will eventually try to make one... that is, after I finish all othe other crafts I have in mind...
Thanks Katharina D for the information, I think these boxes are great as I also think your picture is great, you must have made the pretty doily, anyway thank for your information. Roma
