My current love? Plants. Adding plants to rooms and having them around just adds so much and I am loving it! I've been looking everywhere for a cute way to display little succulents or air plants--which by the way, are the coolest things ever...plants you don't have to water? I think that's everybody's kind of plant. Am I right??
So basically, I've been trying to find a way to make these cute arrangements work in my own room. Remember my "Small Spaces" post a few weeks ago? Follow this tutorial and add it into the mix--adding small plants like these is low maintenance and adds a whole new dynamic to the room.
After a few trips to Home Depot, Hobby Lobby and just about every where else, my cute friend Madee and I finally were able to come up with a way to display our cute little plants. We decided to build our own little terrariums! Now, be careful with these because if you don't use the right resources/supplies, it can get pricy! But no need to worry, we already put in the work for you to ensure you get the best supplies for the least amount :)
Follow my tutorial and to get the same look that I had. Or mix it up a little and create your own unique terrarium :)
Terrarium DIY (example pictured on right side of picture)
**Keep in mind, have fun with these! There are no exact measurements to make these look good so just be a little creative and add whatever you want! Steps 2, 3 and 5 can be mixed up a little to personalize it**
What you need:
- A clear container [fish bowl, canning jar, etc.]
- Rocks [you can use random ones you find out in the yard or look in the floral section at Hobby Lobby or any craft store]
- Soil [potting soil preferred]
- 2-3 succulents [get them at any greenhouse, we got ours at Home Depot and Cactus and Tropical. It all depends how big of a container you are using!]
- Moss [again, find some in your yard or buy some here]
- Any extras you want to add a little personal touch! [Examples: gold rocks, small objects such as twigs or colored rocks, etc. Anything you want really :)]
Step 1: Create a workspace
-kitchen counter, out on the porch, anywhere that you can lay some newspaper down.
Step 2: Place rocks into the bottom of the container
Step 3: Add dirt [although you can be creative with these, make sure the dirt is in a place where it will cover the roots of the plants
Step 4: Burrow out a little space to plant the succulent. Make sure the roots are covered in dirt
Step 5: Personalize, personalize, personalize! Add gold sand, more rocks, moss, small accessories...etc! Anything you wish :)
**Make sure to water them every once in a while by either dripping a little water in or spraying it once or twice with a spray bottle**
Thanks for reading! I'd love to see how yours turn out! Enjoy! :)
