DIY - Terrarium

Terrariums are all the rage these days! I had some empty apothecary jars around the house so I decided to join the masses and make my own.

Below is my own diagram on how you are to assemble the materials for a vessel with a lid. However there are a ton of resources on the web and {here} is the one I used that I thought was very informative.

The finished products! (The little one is an old wasp's nest we found in one of our walls during remodeling)

I found this plant at Home Depot! It has beautiful gold flowers that seriously are gold...not yellow! The plant name is {Mikado} and I think it just looks lovely in this jar.

In the larger jar I used a {Fiber Optic Grass} and some ground cover that I took from my Garden.

Cool Things

Here are a couple things that you could put in your house, the first was just too funny, so I had to put it up. The second is really clever and took me a while to figure out but I am tempted to get one for the new house.

A planter to celebrate what happens in our city parks.

A key rack that is so simple. It is a slot in a oiled teak wood block that you slide your key into.

You can find both of these items at Charles & Marie.
