I chose a thrift store vase for this project. The bottom is heavy, a good choice since this will keep the terrarium from easily flipping over.
A layer of pebbles…
A layer of charcoal…
A layer of potting soil…
Moss and small garden cress plant dug up from outdoors…
I rolled the sheet of moss into a tube to slip into the slender neck of the vase…
A pencil tamped the plants in place…
A bit of water from a slender tipped nozzle…a few seeds of alyssum…
And a beautiful Block Island stone with a stripe running through it…magical! This post will be continued next week with a surprise upcycled stopper for the terrarium top.

Hi Anne, part 2 will probably be on hold until Tuesday, it’s more involved than the terrarium. I think you will like it.

Hi Susie, It is a small group of plants, moss, etc., within a glass enclosure. I have used a small vase for mine. I am going to make a stopper for the top that will help keep the humidity inside. This keeps the terrarium almost self-watering when placed in sunshine. For this one though, I am going to let more air-flow in. When they steam up it is hard to see what is inside. Kathy
