- Wrap fairy lights around it
👉 Creates a soft, aesthetic glow
🐦 4. DIY Terrarium or Display Case

👉 Great for decorative items
🛠️ How to Make It Stronger

- Add a base (cardboard or wood) for stability
🎨 Easy Upgrades
- Paint frames (black, white, gold)
- Add fabric panels for a cozy look
- Use different frame styles for a vintage vibe
⚠️ What to Watch Out For
