Cozy Winter Scene Terrarium

I wrote in a post last month about how I like to  incorporate cozy lighting in my house not just at Christmas, but all year long (okay, maybe not as much as I do during Christmastime, but still some…)

This sweet little Winter Scene Terrarium was the perfect way to replace the lighted Christmas centerpiece on my kitchen table, and extend the cozy lighting a little bit longer.

It's so easy to put togehter! Look for things you already have. Ididn’t buy anything new for this vignette. Here's how to make a terrarium.

• Add some greenery. The little flocked tree was the one that I had in the back of my vintage Tonka Truck display at Christmas.
• Use some natural elements. I kept out a few pine cones, before packing them away with my Christmas things. I used some in my Winter Tiered Tray, and some here.
• Add some light. The  twinkle fairy lights are the same ones I use in many displays every season and holiday, all year long. They get a workout! If you don't have twinkle lights, a flameless candle would be great too!

• Add some personal items. I have an entire collection of Willow Tree Angels that my kids gifted me across many years. I enjoy using them for various displays.

• Include some text or signage. The mini chalkboard came from the Target Dollar Spot a year or two ago.Before I added it to the terrarium, I wrote a simple winter message on it with chalk. If you don't have one of like this, you could always print out your text on a computer and place it in a small frame.

• Arrange everything in side so it looks pretty from all angles.

I love how pretty it looks in the dark. And the Willow Tree Angel holding the lantern just works so well for this wintery scene.

The fairy lights come on automatically at the same time each evening, and turn off 6 hours later.

I plan to keep my “wintery” decor out for a couple of more weeks before I give in to the pink hearts! I’m working on some cute crafts for Valentines that I’m excited to share with you soon! Until then…

Warm Winter Wishes,
