Easy And Creative Ways To Decorate A Glass Cloche For Fall

What do you put under a cloche?

A grouping or combination of the items below makes a beautiful display under a cloche. You can feature a favorite collection of items. There are various items to combine for styling your glass cloche.

• pumpkins or gourds
• feathers
• leaves
• small wreath
• stacked books or books with the spines removed
• faux plants
• faux fruit
• candles (battery timer)
• fairy lights (timer)
• dried or faux flowers or herbs
• dried lotus pods, wheat bunch, faux acorns, nest
• Indian corn or corn husks
• Moss or moss balls
• dishes, mortar and pestle, vases, etc.
• vintage items such as an old clock, wooden spools, figurines, etc.
• photograph
• metal or woven box
• any seasonal item

I love natural organic items found in nature. Here dried sunflowers and mushrooms add a touch of autumn color. Some green moss and Spanish moss are used as fillers. A bird nest on a rustic terra-cotta pot adds height and extra texture.

Another creative way to decorate a glass cloche is by adding a collection of vintage items. Here green Spanish Moss is used as a filler. It is topped with vintage wooden spools and a grapevine pumpkin.

This cloche is sitting on top of a small candle riser. A beautiful velvet pumpkin with a real pumpkin stem, two feathers, and a few preserved leaves are put under the cloche. It creates a beautiful fall vignette.

You can see from this list the possibilities are endless. Use your imagination and run with it to decorate a cloche.

Do I need a base for my cloche?

No, you do not need to use a base. However, some cloches may come with a glass, wooden, or metal base. I love a large glass dome over items on a wooden table. It is a matter of personal preference or to change up your look.

Often you will see my extra large metal cloches styled using no base. A large glass dome over a faux green wreath with a faux pumpkin. It is sitting on top of a riser. A simple vignette for the kitchen island or console table.

Outdoors, I am using a large wire cloche. It sits on the base of the table with a grouping of two plants and a candle holder. There is a small votive timer candle that pops on during the evening.

Ideas for a base for a cloche?

You can use a variety of items for a base under your cloche. Here are some of my favorites:

• pedestal (metal or glass)
• cutting board
• wood slice
• charger
• vintage plate
• architectural salvage
• book
• marble cheese board
• tray
• basket

I love to use cheese trays or cutting boards. This tray had extra space around the edges. You could have acorns, a large wreath, or a garland. How about some dried cauliflower root? It reminds me of white driftwood. I love that organic look of it around the tray.

The great thing about using a tray or a cutting board, you can move it around the house. I love to change things up.

Where To Find Cloches

You can find cloches in a variety of different stores including thrift stores, vintage markets, etc. Here are some of my favorites and a link to where to purchase.
