How To Style A Christmas Terrarium?

First of all, decide on the style of the terrarium that you are going for. To make it cohesive part of your holiday decor, match it with your theme and colors. Now place some faux snow inside or go for moss and greenery. Then decide on the scene you are going to show: a snowy house with a tree, a van carrying a tree, some woods with deer, bears and foxes, just beautiful ornaments and pinecones. After getting all the necessary pieces, glue or just place them inside and I’d strongly recommend some lights around for a bolder look. Get inspired by the ideas below and make your own perfect holiday terrarium!
