Moss Terrarium DIY

This January one of my dear friends and I decided we needed to make terrariums together. I was first inspired to embark on this little project when I saw these lovely terrariums. So we headed to out local thrift and craft stores and picked up some perfect jars and moss. The above terrarium is made of a glass cup and an ashtray. Unexpected I know. My friend's family had this lovely set of fawns and they so generously let me use one for my little terrarium. Such a treasure!

I was so delighted with my creation I decided I needed to share the "terrarium love" and make one for a friend. I purchased the jar below from a Japanese shop called Daiso and I picked up the little fawn and moss at Michael's. I simply glued everything to the bottom of the jar and voila a beautiful deer themed terrarium. This second terrarium was a lot harder to make than the first one because I had to cram my hand in the jar to glue in each piece of moss and the little deer. The one above one however was a piece of cake because I just glued everything on the ashtray base and then placed the glass cup on top. Another tip is to not use a jar with an air tight lid because the moss holds moister causing the glass to get fogged up over the course of a couple of days. I hope you enjoyed this little DIY. If you decide to make a terrarium or already have please share a link in the comments! I would love to see your creations!
