Terrarium Accents

Terrarium accents are small objects that you add to your terrarium to either make it more attractive or to give it a theme. I have listed here on this page a whole bunch of ideas you can use as accents for your terrarium.

Once the ideas start flowing you can probably think up all kinds of great things you can use. Many of them just found around the house.

 

This is a great example of a terrarium with a nice accent added. The theme is for the movie lost and it has one of the characters in it. See more here: The Lost Terrarium

 

 

 

 

 

 

Model Train Accents

One of the first places you might want to look if you want various types of people and animals for your terrarium is in the model railroad world. There are a few different scales so you can get figures in different sizes.

HO Scale figures - These figures are less than an inch in size. The scale is 1/87 so the miniature people are 1/87th human size. HO Figures as Terrarium Accents

YOUNG TRAVELLERS - PREISER HO SCALE MODEL TRAIN FIGURES 10113

I like these, they are very appropriate for terrariums because they are little backpackers. Creates the illusion that they are traveling through your terrarium forest!

 

Bachmann Trains City People with Motorcycle

 

 

 

O Scale _ This is a larger scale for trains. It can vary a bit but typically O scale is 1/48 size.

This particular set is kind of neat because you can put them on a little bench in your terrarium.

 

Bonsai style accents

Bonsai growers have been making and using little accents for centuries. We can borrow from this idea and give our terrarium a nice feel of the orient.

Terrarium Crystals

I think that crystals make a wonderful accent for a terrarium. It is much better than a regular stone. And if you can get some crystals that stand upright those are the best. Here is a picture of some of my crystals. The colored one is very nice because of the color. You can stand up the clear ones or embed them partially in the soil.

 

 

 

 

 

Fairies and Figurines and Miscellaneous Others

FLORAL FAIRY

You can get various figurines in different sizes. Faeries are often terrific for terrariums. Just choose something of a suitable size.

You also might want to consider small animals as terrarium accents. It really is a nice touch, particularly with wild animals because it makes the terrarium look like a little jungle or forest!

This particular terrarium was part of a classroom project where the kids made terrariums. You can see more pics here: Classroom Terrarium
