5. A Mini Christmas Tree That Steals the Show
You can’t do a winter village without a tree, and inside a snow globe it has to be perfect. Mine’s about ten blocks tall, spruce logs and leaves, with glowstone tucked into the branches and a sea lantern star on top. I ringed the base with tiny presents — coloured wool with white carpet bows — and at night, the whole dome glows because of this tree. Keep it in the middle, and don’t skimp on the lights.
