I have been wanting to make a terrarium for ages now and I finally remembered to write down a list of supplies and bring the list with me on my errand run. An important detail. Turns out to make a terrarium is incredibly simple (key word make. Time will tell if it lives). Now that I have done it I'm not sure what took me so long. And I am fighting the urge to turn every covered glass container in the house into a little mossy diorama. I already have plans for the little Matchbox VW microbus I have although I went with an Easter theme for this one.
So I followed the beginner instructions on the Terrarium Man website but there is an easy tutorial here too. The only difference is Craftzine adds a layer of activated charcoal while Terrarium Man adds a layer Spanish moss. And they had Spanish moss at the dollar store so I went with Terrarium Man. I also just used sheet moss on top but you can add all kinds of plants and ground cover. I am going out in search of a larger container so I can try one of those. I need to plant something tall for my hippies to hang their clothes up to dry on...
