I’ve seen terrariums floating around blog land and in quite a few stores for a few months now and I’m starting to fall in love with them. I’m not much of a “plant girl” but I REALLY like the look of these! I have a funny little space in the corner of my kitchen that really needs something new. I think I might have to make a few of these! Here are some of my inspiration pictures:

These ones are my favorite and I already have some of those jars! She also has great tips and step by step instructions on how to make your own. I’ll be using them!

I love the idea of putting a few succulents in mason jars… I also have a few of those lying around! I’ll have to stop by TjMaxx or IKEA and see if I can find a few more glass jars. I cant wait to make my own and don’t worry I’ll post a few pictures when they are done!
I love these too! I have got to find glass jars as well, you can do so many things with them! Thanks for the inspiration!
How lovely! I am now dying to make some!
I LOVE the succulents!! I kill anything green I touch but these look like maybe they’re easy to keep alive? I just kept a white Poinsetta alive for two months though, so maybe my thumb is starting to turn a little green!! :)
Congrats on your Poinsettia Heidi! I’m definitely not the “green thumb girl” either but from what I’ve read they are pretty easy to care for! I’ll have to do a post in a month or so and give a little update on the well being of my plants ;)
These are great!! I’m not good at keeping plants alive, but I think succulents are supposed to be pretty easy maintenance wise? They are beautiful at any rate. :)
I don’t have much of a green thumb either so it will be interesting to see how well I do with these!
Thanks for coming to visit my site. I am totally loving terrariums now too, I think it’s nice to have something living. I especially love the second one. I really like those succulents. I’m not much of a plant girl either… But I’d love to try this.
I’m having the hardest time finding decent succulents right now. I bought my jars and everything else now I just need the darn plants. I’m anxious to put them together!
I love the idea of putting succulents into mason jars! I already have some succulents in a pot and they are pretty low maintenance. I purchased mine at Home Depot early last summer. I am going to try this and I can’t wait to see your finished product!
I’m glad to hear they are low maintenance! I tend to forget about the whole watering thing and usually kill my plants :/ I’m actually having a hard time finding decent succulents right now. ERGH! I’ve been to about four different Home Depots and can only find cactus… which I actually cant stand lol So…. I’m still on the hunt! Good luck transferring yours to your jars. I’m sure they will look awesome!
Erin, I think terrariums are very pretty and a nice “green” addition to a room. I’ve had them before and as long as they don’t get too much water they seem to do very well. Thank you for the nice comment on my blog, I really appreciate it. Join in my party which features anything about the home. Details on my blog. Would love to have you come.———- Shannon
Thanks Shannon! I finally found some succulents and put mine together today and I LOVE it! If it lives through the next month I might make a few more ;) Funny thing is…. I’m a landscapers wife and I can’t keep plants alive for the life of me ;) I’m glad to hear they are easy to care for… maybe these will make it after all!
