Christmas terrarium
Materials
Mini terrarium holder or large wine glass
Christmas ornaments (preferably a mini Christmas tree and a cut out reindeer)
White pebbles or tiny stones painted white
Corn starch
Baking soda
Method
Fake snow
In a tray, mix the cornstarch and baking soda in a 1:1 ratio.
Now, add just enough water so that when you squeeze some of the mixture in your hands, you can form a ball.
Gently release any clumps until your fake snow looks like real snow.
Make sure to add the water very slowly or the mixture may get too runny, in which case just add more of the cornstarch and baking soda.
The terrarium
Get started by putting a handful of artificial snow into the glass jar. Fill around one-third.
Place the Christmas ornaments into the jar. The artificial snow should keep the ornament standing up.
Put the lid back on the glass jar and display your beautiful DIY snow terrarium!
