How to make a cheap terrarium
Do you want to give your home a natural and wild touch? So,
a good option is to build a terrarium that you can perfectly place in any
corner of your home, thus giving it a different touch. In this OneHowTo article
we are going to tell you how to make a cheap terrarium so that you can decorate
your house without having to spend a lot of money. You will only need some
moss, a glass bottle and a lot of imagination! In addition, the best thing
about this craft is that you can customize it and do it as you like since you
can include everything that you like. Great right?
Steps to follow:
In order to make a low-cost terrarium we are going to use
materials that you can easily get and for which you will not need to pay a
single penny. Here we detail what you need to make your terrarium:
A glass container (it can even be a bottle of wine cut in
half and that you take advantage of the bottom of it. At One How To we show you
how to cut a bottle).
A pot with the plant that you want to place inside the
terrarium (if the glass container is large, you can choose to put more small
plants and, thus, you will achieve a much more natural and wild appearance).
A bit of moss that will serve as the base of the terrarium.
Stones (which you can get during any walk in the forest).
1. We start by creating the base of our terrarium , for
this, we will have to place some stones and then, you can cover them with some
moss at the bottom. You can add more layers of moss and stones (it will always
depend on the size of the container in which you are going to create the
terrarium). When we finish with the layers, we will only have to place the pot
on top of the moss.
2. To give it the terrarium effect, it is important that you
add moss around the plant afterwards , otherwise it will only look like you
have put a plant inside a glass container. You will achieve the wild and
natural look when you spread moss inside and mix it with the plant.
3. To give your terrarium a unique and personal touch, at
OneHowTo we advise you to choose to personalize the glass container where you
are making your creation. In this way, you can paint it, stick some stickers on
it, write some words or simply give it a touch of color that blends perfectly
with the decoration of your home.
