It is a shiny new year here at share a bit of love! I thought I would share a gift that I made for a gift exchange this year in case your new year’s resolution is to give a little more, make the world a greener place, or to spruce up your home or office.
I made this simple terrarium (two actually) for under $10 with some help from mother nature.
Here is what you will need:
- Clear glass vessel
- succulent plants
- moss
- potting soil
- activated charcoal
- gravel
- rocks & sticks for added decoration
1. Start layering in this order: Gravel, charcoal, & potting soil.
2. Plant succulent in soil.
3. Pat in moss around to cover- You can skip this step, but it adds nice texture. I managed to peel some moss from our front yard. (thanks Pacific Northwest!)
4. Add stones/sticks (I used drift wood from a girls weekend at the beach a few months back, and stones collected from a camping trip)
