It’s official: I’m addicted to making terrariums. Who knew they were so addictive?
I volunteered to make this one as part of a group gift and it was so much fun. I filled the back with a bit of cactus soil, then planted in a pretty little sedum.
I covered that with some moss and some white river stones to set up a base for the Tillandsia stricta that I glued into a shell. Won’t it be gorgeous when it blooms?!
To make your own, I’d suggest checking out the Terrarium Craft Review & Salad Bowl Terrarium Project.
Give it a try as part of “You Can Grow That” day, the 4th day of each month.
Very interesting post and blog. You are definitely one talented gardener!
Nice! I want to make one to hang in the window in my kitchen! Thanks for the idea.
Lovely terrariums. These would make fine gifts. I like the option for hanging, too: ideal for cat-lovers like me. Otherwise the temptation for felines to exercise their gardening redesign options could be disastrously overwhelming! Beautiful!
My daughter made me a one for my birthday in February and I just love it..I am hoping I won’t kill it….Michelle
I love these. Especially since you’ve manage to combine glue guns & plants…and the plant is still alive! I think I may make one this weekend and then hide an Easter egg in it and see how long it takes for my kids to notice.
Debbie, yes, anytime I can craft with plants I’m all over it. But don’t use glue guns with air plants – too hot! I used E6000 adhesive and just a wee bit. But I love the hidden Easter egg idea. Happy Easter.
I’ve got several glass containers just waiting for plants and things! I won a copy of this book but haven’t received it yet. When I do, I’ll be making up some, too! This is really cute, Stevie.
I’m very interested in landscape design and indoor gardening. These are a lovely addition to any light kitchen or office. Love them!
