Today, I am happy to share with you a easy, affordable and adorable DIY craft! These Mason Jar Terrariums are the perfect blend of southern and fun with a hint of greenery to add a pop of color!
I liked them because they were fast, make for simplistic decor and can also be educational. By educational, for us, I mean that in the sense that my four year old and I briefly chatted and she understood plant + water + light and ecosystem.
For mine, I went simple with rocks, dirt, moss and plant. I did {do} save and recycle glass jars so we had those on hand, and some of the rocks and all of the dirt was from my front yard. I was in a hurry and snagged a {plastic} succulent from Hobby Lobby....no activated charcoal needed for fake plants! Shhh! Don't tell Annie M that! ;)
- Glass Jar
- Soil
- Succulents
- Rocks
Simple instructions:
- Gather materials
- Place rocks at the bottom of the jar
- Layer the dirt
- Plant succulents or moss
- Accessorize - I saw some little boys who loved action figures add them to their plants. It was kind of cute and unique to see - here is the sample of one with dinos below and the link from where I found it! How cute!
