We were thinking about a small Nativity and our first thought was accommodating it in a box, but then I remembered that I have this container, terrarium type so I made a this DIY Christmas terrarium to use a centerpiece or in a living room table.

While we were making the terrarium I was telling my daughter about how my granny used to set a big Nativity scene. It was spectacular encompassing an entire wall of the living room and the dining room.

I explained to her that Nativity represents the birth of Jesus. Decorating the terrarium was easy but it looks very different than just the Nativity set by itself. The best thing is that we spent very little. I hope you like it!

DIY Christmas terrarium inspired by the film The Star

Material

  • 1 Small Nativity set
  • 1 Clear glass container, can be a fish tank, candy container, etc.
  • Moss (false or real)
  • 30 mini-sized lights string (AA batteries)
  • hot glue
  • 2 sheets of blue and silver letter-size foam (letter)
  • Mecate type fabric
  • Scissors
  • Pencil

Place the moss at the bottom of the container, to form the floor of the scene.

If the Nativity has already you can decorate it, in our case, we cover the roof with mecate slat, to hide the star and we make a bigger one.

Set the manger and figures on top of the moss and secure them with hot glue.

Place the mini-lights around the Nativity scene, trying to leave some to decorate the star. This type of mini-lights are very friendly, you can accommodate it in many ways without much notice.

We take blue letter-sized foami and make a few cuts at the tips on each side, to form the sky. Settled.

Make a star with silver foam. Place the lights behind the star, using hot glue, to make it look more dramatic.

Put the lid of the container on and that’s it! The DIY Christmas terrarium can work as a centerpiece, to decor your office, for a coffee table in the living room, or wherever you prefer.

This is a good idea to do with the kids and to start enjoying the Christmas spirit.
