Jar Terrariums

They are finished! I finally found more succulents so I could finish building my jar terrariums. They aren’t as full or vibrant as my inspiration but I love them! I had the hardest time finding decent succulents when it finally dawned on me….. IKEA! I swear sometimes that place has the answer to everything ;)

These two smaller succulents are both from IKEA. If you plan on making your own terrariums check there first. They had the BEST selection.

The succulents in my large jar are from Home Depot; their selection was horrible! It consisted of the four plants that are in my pot and they were all very small. I was desperate and wanted my terrariums finished so I bought them. I hope they survive!

Here is the entourage of terrariums ha ha ha. This is seriously the perfect spot to place them and I love the simple/clean look they provide. Wish me luck with my not so green thumb! If you want to build your own terrariums stop by and visit Jamie for an awesome tutorial.

While I was at IKEA I picked up this cute fake herb plant to build a new table scape for my dining table. It works for now!

I also picked up this lovely item……

Yep its blue and white stripes…. my current obsession and I think I’m making pillows with it for my bedroom. It will look awesome with my latest purchase which is currently being shipped!

Terrariums

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!
