I ran across a “moss terrarium” online a few weeks ago and became totally obsessed with making my own. They are so cool! I made 2 yesterday but, I spent so long taking the picture of the one I’m sharing today, that the other one condensated on me (because it’s kind of cold out today) and I couldn’t get a good picture of it. So you’ll just have to wait to see my Easter Terrarium. But, trust me, it will be worth the wait.
My grandma gave me this glass jar for Christmas several years ago. I put some river rock in the bottom, some potting soil over that, some moss that I got off the firewood we are using, and I had the tractor already. I think I got the tractor at Tractor Supply a few years ago to decorate a birthday gift for my husband who loves Farm-All tractors.
This one was starting to condensate on me too, but I think it’s a good enough picture that you can see how charming these things are. I’m thinking they’d make great gifts for any number of people. You can custom tailor the theme to fit each person’s interests.
I’ve been on a craft roll lately, so I have a lot of things to share this week. And maybe I’ll run across something goofy to share too.
I love that you found another use for a jar. I save them and can never use them all so they sit in a cupboard. This is a great project! I still have a little plastic koala that a friend gave me in junior high and I’m thinking it would look cute in a terrarium.

This is such an adorable project! None of my old jars are near that pretty, though!
Caleb (my 7yr old) came up to the computer to tell me something right as I scrolled down to your pic… He said, “Wo… that’s cool!” So… your moss terrarium is cool
