Cheerful Spirit Creations: The Perfect Holiday Centerpiece

A Unique and Magical Design by Jenn Vodrazka

Do you know what a perfect centerpiece decoration should do? It should be a focal point, set a mood, and be timeless. A Cheerful Spirit is the perfect centerpiece for you this holiday season! First, LED string lights are used to decorate bottlebrush trees. These trees are set atop a patent pending battery base which replaces a hole under the bottle. The bottle is now wireless and convenient to move around. The captured tree brings out the magical feeling of Christmas and combines the beauty of Christmas decor, vases(bottle), and candles(light) all in one centerpiece.

Jenn Vodrazka, the talented designer behind Cheerful Spirit Creations, has combined her passions for holiday decorating, recycling, and handmade glass decor to create something truly unique. Inspired by talented upcyclers, Jenn learned the art of bottle lamp making, but she wanted to take it a step further. After much experimentation and creativity, she came up with the idea of filling the bottles with decorated trees.

What sets Cheerful Spirit Creations apart is its one-of-a-kind design. It is the first and only Christmas tree in a bottle decoration to date. The bottle has a patent pending wireless design using string lights, making it a convenient and versatile centerpiece. The entire shape of the wine bottle is preserved, giving it an elegant and sophisticated look.

These magical creations can replace candles or a vase as a centerpiece, bringing cheer and light to any room. The bottle captures the spirit of Christmas time and adds a touch of whimsy to your holiday decor.

The process of creating a Cheerful Spirit Creation involves using bottlebrush or sisal trees, wine bottles, string lights, and crushed glass. A patent pending string light base is used to make the bottle wireless. The tree is attached to the string light base and then strung and decorated. The entire unit is then placed in the bottle, with the on/off switch and batteries hidden at the base.

The dimensions of a Cheerful Spirit Creation are 90mm x 90mm x 345mm, making it a perfect size for a centerpiece on your dining table or mantelpiece.

During the design process, Jenn faced several challenges. The most difficult part was changing the design to a wireless one. She had to hire an engineer to create a custom CAD file for the light base she envisioned. It was her first experience bringing her design to life in this way, but the end result was worth it.

Cheerful Spirit Creations has received recognition for its innovative design. It was awarded the Iron A' Design Award in 2019, which is given to well-designed, practical, and innovative creations that meet professional and industrial requirements. This award acknowledges the integration of industry best practices and competent technical characteristics, providing fulfillment and positive feelings, and contributing to a better world.

If you're looking for a centerpiece that will capture the spirit of Christmas and bring joy to your home, look no further than Cheerful Spirit Creations by Jenn Vodrazka. Its unique design, wireless functionality, and magical appeal make it the perfect addition to your holiday decor.
