Decorating a Snowman Terrarium Directions

Step 1

I went shopping and found the terrarium, snowmen and glittery floral picks, all at the Dollar Tree.

Step 2

I poured some glue in a cup and added some glitter and confetti, making sure to mix it up good!

Step 3

I used a brush to dab the mixture onto the inside of the terrarium. 

Don’t forget the rim! Then just let it dry overnight.

Step 4

Once dry, I poured white acrylic paint into the terrarium and swirled it around.

*This is a good time to wipe the excess paint off the outside, that may have dripped out.

Then set it aside to dry…again, this will probably be overnight.

Step 5

I used Mod Podge and dabbed the side of the terrarium and added more glitter, to give it a nice frosty look. Pour the excess glitter back into the container.

Look at that beautiful frostiness!

Step 6

Now it’s time for the snowman. I don’t like the tab at the top of the ornament and decided to remove it. I didn’t want it to look like an ornament.

It’s a plastic ornament. I cut the excess plastic down using my wire cutters.

Step 7

I added hot glue and a small gold jingle bell.

I used Mod Podge and brushed it around the bottom of the  jingle bell, to hide the jagged edge from where I cut the ornament.

Then, I poured fine silver glitter over and now it looks like it always should have been that way!

Step 8

I trimmed down the floral picks to make them the size I needed.

Step 9

I glued in the snowman and the picks. Don’t worry if glue is showing…we’ll take care of that!

Step 10

I used white paint and covered up any glue left showing. Then, I let it dry and went over it with Mod Podge and sprinkled it with glitter.

How cute is that?!?!

Step 11

I used glue and put it around the loop and sprinkled it with silver glitter too!

Step 12

I added a gold ribbon to hang it.

Think about all the places you can hang it from! The mantel, a light fixture, and…YES…the tree! It has a flat bottom so it can be set down on a side table too.
