This DIY terrarium was inspired by a friend who went to Home Depot one day and paid a little over $20 for her 10cm terrarium. Not only is this DIY easy on the pocket book, it's quick and simple once you've gathered everything. My terrarium has little pebbles and an airplant housed in the glass globe. My girlfriend decided she was going to purchase one and then found out how much more inexpensive it was to DIY. As soon as she walked out of the store, in the midst of juggling the items in her arms, she dropped her newly purchased terrarium. Yet considering, she was determined to not be defeated! She decided to make her own and shared her tidbit of craft info with me and now I will share it with you. You will never want to over pay for a terrarium ever again after reading this!
I found my 10cm hanging glass terrarium on Ebay, which was also suggested to me. You can either find the full kit (sand,plant,rocks) online for as low as $15 and as in stores high as $40!! I have found the glass ornamental piece on Ebay for $5.50 each and for a pair of globes approximately $12 for both. The plant is very inexpensive from Home Depot, maybe $5 at the most and you can either put in pebbles or even sand. I chose to put in pebbles I had from the yard and a piece of driftwood from the beach. I tied some 5lbs weight test fishing line and hung it in my kitchen. Air plants are perfect plants because they do not require much water or attention. Another reason as to why this makes these terrariums a great craft investment. Hope it inspires you to make one for yourself or as a gift for a friend. Thank you Rosemary, your DIY experience inspired me.
