Hunting & Gathering

Hello Lovelies!

I just made my own terrarium and

realized how easy the process was,

so I'm making a few more.

I also liked how I was able to use

a lot of stuff from my recycling bin:

Bottles and jars make splendid vessels.

Paper and plastic containers come

in handy when scavenging for

items to put inside the terrarium.

Plastic utensils for digging up sand, dirt & plants.

Chopsticks to help assemble things inside

the glass containers.

Now that we've got the tools, let's hunt and gather!

It's a good thing sunny skies and warm

temperatures are upon us.

The backyard, neighborhood park and

beach are great places to explore.

Just some of the things I found:

Twigs...

and rocks...

and tiny plants like ferns & moss.

And how about this cute soda bottle, huh?

I cleaned it inside and out & removed the

sticky label.

Fashion a funnel out of paper and slowly

pour in some sand and pebbles.

Add the plant and anchor the roots

in the sand & between the pebbles.

{Chopsticks come in handy for this!}

Add a generous spritz of water

from a spray bottle, allow to sit

overnight and replace the cover.

TADA! A handsome terrarium if I do say so myself!
