DIY Monday!




I decided to make my own terrarium for my desk. I heard they were SUPER easy to maintain and you don't have to water them as often as other plants! 

I started with a little fish bowl I got for 50 cents at Goodwill.....

I then went to Lowes and picked up a "succulent" plant for $3....... it came in a tiny plastic black pot.

I then scrounged around and found the "fillers" I used at our wedding in the vases. We used rocks, little jewels, foam balls, and some shiny Easter grass. I placed a little rock at the bottom on the bowl to cover it. I then put the tiny pot into the jar and started filling the sides around the pot.

To finish it, Vera insisted on putting a little decor on it! It was a SUPER easy project and I enjoy it every single day on my desk!






You can also use other succulent plants and combine them in one container... but the small container I chose did not allow for anymore to fit.
