It has the charm of a ship in a bottle but is far more festive: winter greenery contained in a delicate glass ornament. Crafts editor Hannah Milman fills glass-ball ornaments with sprigs of holly, bayberry, and evergreens. Remove the cap from an ornament, and carefully place a small piece of trimmed greenery inside. To prevent condensation from forming, leave the cap off for 24 hours before replacing it. Thread ribbon through the top loop, knot, and hang from the tree.
