DIY Project: Pinterest Terrarium

My best friends finally convinced me to make a Pinterest (I'm hooked...) and I kept seeing these gorgeous terrariums. Essentially, terrariums are small arrangements of succulent plants, cacti, or moss in glass jars, cups, or whatever you choose to put them in. Since I live in an apartment, I'm always keeping my eyes open for little ways to make it more lively and interesting. I thought this would be the perfect way to incorporate nature and my new-found interest in gardening.

I read the above article one morning and couldn't shake my desire to make one! They looked so easy!

So, for those of you who, like me, have been sucked into the do-it-yourself arena, read on to learn how to easily make one of these gorgeous terrariums. Your ingredients will include: a glass jar, pebbles or small rocks, cactus potting soil, and your chosen plant! Make sure the plant that you choose will thrive in the level of light your house or apartment can give the plant. If you don't have a southern facing window, perhaps choose one that operates in medium to low level light. Just read the instructions that often come with the plant.
