I love dioramas, and I’ve wanted to come up with a papercut that I could set in a bell jar for ages now. I also love winter woods, so I really enjoyed making this.
It’s been cut from 200gsm white Fabriano eco artist paper and 300gsm black recycled card. The bell jar sits on a white metal fluted base and measures 8cm in diameter, 11cm high.
I’ve made a couple for a local craft fair at the end of November and I’ve also listed one in my new Etsy shop here.

They’re fantastic! Love them 🙂
Thank you so much, Katie!:)
A very nice idea, they look very effective. It is an interesting looking bell jar – may I ask where you got it from?
Hi Collette. Thanks so much and I’m really glad you like them. The bell jars took a fair old bit of searching to find and I actually ended up getting them from a wedding suppliers called Confetti as they can be used to make wedding favours. Hope that helps!:)
Aha! Very good – That is useful as you can produce things with a consistent look 🙂
Really lovely pieces!

It’s a cool idea and is also very well made. Seeing cut paper working out so well makes me want to try too. 🙂
Thanks so much! And yes, you should definitely give papercutting a try:-)
Beautiful. And how inspired to encase it within a bell jar! Brilliant.
Thank you! I’m so glad you like it:)

Hi and thanks so much! I’m really glad you like it. Please do share, that’s lovely of you:).

So interesting the way you’re getting a variety of shades of gray on your cuts, depending on how the light hits the glass.
Thanks John, I do like how the shading changes in the light too. I’d initially tried different colours of paper for the forest and then found just two white layers created the shadow needed to give it that little bit of depth I was hoping for.
