oh i love DIY: terrariums

on memorial day, my family spent the day making terrariums! they turned out really awesome, so i thought i'd do a kind of  DIY..kind of meaning there are so many different ways you can make them and different things you can use, so no one will really look the same!                                             
                                                     what you'll need:
vase/bottle
sand
dirt/soil
moss
rocks/shells
plants
whatever else you want to throw in there!
 the moss is basically there to create the layers. so it is good to put down before the sand or soil so they don't seep through, causing a jumbled mess!
 be sure to to pat the sand down really hard so it's in there good! if you pack it down enough, it will cover the moss for the most part.
 and that's it! it's pretty simple once you get the hang of it! it just takes a creative mind and lots of patience!
we make other ones too, but for some reason all of the pictures turned out...rather poorly, unfortunately. but i hope you guys liked this kinda DIY, let me know if you make one or something, i'd love to see yours!! :)

  4. I really want to make some! I kill most plants but maybe succulents are low maintenance enough.
