This was so super easy, yet very satisfying. I kept thinking in fact that it was so easy that I must be doing something wrong. I was sure that my plant would die....quickly.
I am happy to report that it has been over a month and it is still going strong. I like the way that this came together so well that I would like to make many more and perhaps giveaway some as gifts.
I started with this jar that I picked up at the thrift store for $2.99 at Christmas time, it was filled with very nice vintage glass ornaments. It is a fairly large jar about 12 inches tall.
I added rocks, activated charcoal, and potting soil. I then added some moss that was for terrarium and a plat that I had rooted from a clipping.
I then added a little shell and a small Eifel Tower that I got in a bag of stuff at a yard sale last year.
I then added a tassel that I picked up on clearance for .97 cents at Jo-Ann's.
Have you ever created something you were sure was not going to work only to have it come out so caute!!!!

Hi Michelle, I love your terrarium project; you made something so beautiful, yet inexpensively. Love the shell and tower inside it. I will have to try one soon. I did one long ago, way back when...
ReplyDeleteThank you for visiting and leaving your kind comment on my "Toot Your Horn Tuesday" bird nest/jar project. You definitely should make three of anything, and be sure that the first one is for you. We deserve pretty things too! Have a great evening.

ReplyDeleteHi Michelle,
ReplyDeleteDon't you just love those neat glass jars? You can do so many different things with them, and your terrarium turned out great! I love your addition of the Eiffel Tower! Thanks so much for visiting, and your nice comments!
This IS caute!!
ReplyDeleteI have a jar that is just gathering dust, and a leftover bag of moss...
Hello project!
Thanks for the idea!
(I wish I had a bitty Effel Tower).
Thanks for sharing your creativeness and green thumb!
Blessings to you today!
That's really pretty... (and I'm a huge fan of anything with an Eifel Tower on it! )
ReplyDeleteNicely done!
