Thank you for choosing handmade! I can't wait to help design something special for your shower or nursery.

These globes make perfect creative baby shower gifts, and they bring a beautiful touch to any nursery. They also make fun props for a maternity shoot, and they can be used as part of a creative baby announcement.

These globes are 8" in diameter and are hand painted with the ocean one color and the continents another color. The quote or names are hand lettered.

You choose the colors to match the color scheme of the baby's nursery, and if you need help with the designing process just let me know! I can talk with you, look at your Pinterest board, or use photos to match colors for your globe.

************************************

Please list your preferences for all of the following in the COMMENTS/NOTE TO SELLER section of the order form:

1. Ocean color
2. Continents color
3. Base/stand color (gold, silver, rose gold, copper, oil-rubbed bronze, white, and black currently available, or I can find another color if you have one in mind)
4. Lettering color
5. What lettering you want on the globe (baby's name and/or birthday, a quote, song lyrics, a Bible verse, etc. that you want lettered on the globe – 10 words or less looks best on the globes, but longer quotes can sometimes be accommodated if you check with me first to make sure they'll fit)
6. Font layout
7. Flower color and style (if applicable)

************************************

The globe is hand painted with acrylic paint, gold/silver leaf paint, and spray paint, and sealed with a clear coat to protect the paint.

All globes and supplies are sourced in the USA, and we upcycle for sustainability wherever possible.

Many of these globes are vintage or repurposed items, so there may be small imperfections, but overall they are of high quality. Some of the globes may be topographical, so there will be raised portions where the mountains are. Because they are hand painted, there will be brush strokes as there would be on a painted canvas.

If you're using this as a shower guestbook, this size globe holds approximately 75 signatures.

If you're having a larger shower and you want a bigger option, there is a 12" diameter version of these globes available in the shop (see link below):
