Christmas Terrarium

"Decorating for the holidays is one of my favorite things. Creating your own Christmas decor, like this beautiful Christmas terrarium, is fun, satisfying, and a great way to add a personal touch to your home. There’s nothing quite like a gift made from the heart. While this Christmas terrarium is definitely a great gift idea, it’s also a beautiful way to dress up your own home for the holidays. You too can easily make a Christmas terrarium to display on your mantle, as a centerpiece for your holiday table, or to give as a gift!"
