terrarium II

Woke up with a swollen eye and a bad stomach... so had the day off work today.
I didn't want to spend the whole time in bed so I decided to create my second terrarium.

Just a simple one.

I had previous bought a small glass container from Daiso at the Myer Centre in the Brisbane CBD. The container had a cork lid which made it all the more cuter and it was only $2.80, like everything else at Daiso, so I bought it for no good reason.

And now it has become the container for my terrarium. Here are some photos of the final product.


I am thinking of creating some miniature clay things for it, but what to make?

For the past year, I have been pretty fascinated by terrariums. They have become more and more popular and you can find some much inspiration and information online.

For a long time I had been wanting to create a terrarium, but never knew where to start. I wasn't until I watched the season finale of The Makeshift on ISATv, that I realised how simple it could be to make a terrarium.



As a friend's birthday was coming up, I decided I would create a terrarium as a gift for my friend. The theme of the surprise party was Alice in Wonderland and I thought this would be a great theme for the terrarium as well. I did a bit more research on terrariums and the types of plants that would work well in them. Once I had all my supplies for the terrarium under the belt, I decided to get a little crafty and bought some air dry clay and paints to create miniature mushrooms, bunnies, tea cups and tea pot.

So here are a couple of progress shots

And here is the final result
