Terrariums are the perfect way to have an easy going house plant that provides a mini world of wonder. I love looking inside the terrarium, all closed in, and imagined a teeny tiny world inside with creatures hiding under every leaf.
Hopefully this how-to for your home inspires you to make something beautiful for yourself or someone you know would adore it. It really isn't hard or expensive.
I made these as a Mother's Day gift last year. I don't think there is anything better for a mom than the time you can spend with her and a gift that you made.
So, let's get started...shall we?

These are the plants I used...
You want plants that will take well to a lot of humidity with the lid on the apothecary jar. When you go to a nursery they can tell you about what plants are best suited for a terrarium as well as the light in the room you plan to have them in.
And...
Simply add a homemade gift tag like this...
I loved this quote because it was both about growth (like the plants) and about love & beauty. Perfect for Mother's Day no?
All I used for this was a wooden tag, some wash tape, lace packing tape, & color coded dot labels.
Hopefully this inspires to you to make a terrarium of your own or one for someone you love. If you have any questions please ask! It was super fun to make and my mama loved it!
