Have you ever looked at a plain large 100mm globe and wished it had more personality? Well, fret no more! In this article, we will explore quick and easy patterns to transform your plain globe into a stunning decorative piece that will catch everyone's attention.
Why Choose Large 100mm Globes?

Whether you want to enhance the aesthetic appeal of your living room or add a touch of sophistication to your office, these globes can be an ideal choice.

- A large 100mm globe
- Acrylic paints or markers
- Paintbrushes
- Painter's tape
- Stencils (optional)
- Sealant spray
Pattern Ideas
Now, let's take a look at some exciting pattern ideas to inspire your creativity:
1. Galaxy Design
Create a stunning galaxy-inspired design by using shades of blue, purple, and black. Start by painting the entire globe with a base coat of navy blue. Once dry, splash lighter shades of blue and purple randomly across the surface. For the finishing touches, add white dots or stars using a fine paintbrush or a stencil. This celestial pattern will give your globe an ethereal look that is out of this world!
2. World Map
Transform your globe into a mini replica of our planet by painting a world map on its surface. You can either freehand the continents or use stencils for more precise outlines. Use different shades of green and brown to mimic the landmasses, and don't forget to add blue for the oceans. This pattern will not only look visually appealing but will also serve as an educational tool.
3. Floral Delight
If you prefer a more delicate and feminine pattern, go for a floral design. Start by selecting your favorite flowers as inspiration. Paint the background in a soft color like pale pink or lavender. Then, using smaller brushes, carefully recreate the petals and leaves of your chosen flower. You can create a bouquet effect by adding multiple flowers or focus on a single bloom for simplicity.
4. Geometric Patterns
Add a modern touch to your globe by incorporating geometric patterns. Use painter's tape to create crisp lines and angles. Experiment with various shapes, colors, and patterns until you achieve a visually pleasing result. Bold colors like black, white, and metallics work exceptionally well for this design. The clean lines will lend a contemporary feel to your globe.
Tips for Applying Patterns
Before you start painting, consider the following tips to ensure the best results:
- Start with a clean, dry globe to avoid any dirt or smudges interfering with your pattern.
- Practice your design on a piece of paper or spare surface before applying it to the globe.
- If you're using stencils, secure them tightly to avoid paint bleeding underneath.
- Apply multiple thin coats of paint instead of one thick coat to prevent any streaks or clumps.
- Allow each layer to dry completely before moving on to the next to avoid smudging or blending of colors.
Finishing Touches
Once you're satisfied with your patterns, it's essential to protect them and ensure longevity. Use a sealant spray, specifically designed for acrylic paints, to seal the surface and prevent any potential damage.
With a large 100mm globe and a little creativity, you can transform a plain decorative piece into a unique work of art. Experiment with different patterns, colors, and designs until you find the perfect style that suits your personal taste and complements your space. Whether you choose a galaxy design, a world map, floral patterns, or geometric designs, these quick and easy patterns will add visual interest and enhance the overall aesthetic appeal of your globe. So, grab your materials and embark on this exciting DIY journey to create your own stunning masterpiece!

This book is a follow up to my earlier book “Lace Crochet Covered Ornaments”. In my first pattern book, I provided instructions on how to create lace motifs to cover standard 60mm – 65mm (about 2.25”-2.5”) ornaments. Naturally, crafters might like to know how to cover other ornament sizes as well. As it can be a daunting task to try to modify existing patterns to work for larger ornaments, I thought I would compile a set of patterns that I have used to cover these larger baubles that measure approximately 4” in diameter.This book contains six of my patterns for creating lace crochet covered ornaments for these larger 100mm ornaments. I have tried to streamline the patterns so that the ornaments can be created relatively quickly and easily. The rounds are done with very basic stitches and a stitch glossary is provided in the back of the book to help you with any stitches with which you might be unfamiliar.These larger globes are palm-sized (like a traditional snow globe size). They are a lot of fun to make and are stunning to show off or give as gifts! If you'd like to try your hand at the smaller patterns, please see my other pattern books for additional designs. Thank you! -kristen
