Terrarium Craft

This book looks fantastic. I bought teeny little deer and even teenier little mushrooms last month, and when Brandon saw and asked me about them, I sheepishly told him that I was going to make a terrarium for Eleanor. I think he thought I had gone a little nuts. I’m going to need this book for some inspiration (and to show him that terrariums can be cool).

p.s. The publisher is having a giveaway for Terrarium Craft, along with a DIY terrarium kit here until June 30.

    I’ve been looking for a glass container for a bit now to make the perfect terrarium in. + I need to find objects to put it them. Where’d you find your mushrooms & deer?

  • I have such a weakness for these things! I should really make one for myself :)

  • I love terrariums! There was a whole piece on them on CBS Sunday Morning recently. Awesome!!

  • Oooh, so happy to hear this! We just built one not too long ago!

    And then it died, and then we resurrected it :)

    Can’t wait to see yours!

  • They just covered Terrariums on CBS Sunday Morning; check out artist Paula Hayes. Some really amazing stuff.

  • I love it! Thanks for sharing.

  • Hmmm. I might need a bit of convincing, too. But I am excited to see what you create.

  • I made three terrariums last month :) and have been checking out etsy for miniature pieces to put in them. I haven’t splurged yet; I haven’t found the perfect items. :) This book looks awesome!

  • This is so cute! Love it. I completely understand your sheepish grin to Brandon thing – I will have to start secretly collecting for my own mini terrarium :)

  • Oh, I too slip into shy and sheepish when discussing what seem like random objects for somewhat-unspecified upcoming projects!
    “Honey, why do we have all of these clear cylinders? Aren’t these what your prunes come in?”
    Me: “Yes . . . they’re going to BE something . . . something very pretty . . .”

  • I am ALL about terrariums. I’ve blogged about them in the past and coincidentally I have a blog about them coming out in the next day or so. I’m totally hooked! Can’t wait to see what you make =)

  • So cute!
    I love teeny tiny terrariums, but I never seem to think of them except when I’m drooling over someone’s!

  • I would buy this book… as I want to have low maintenence plants in my dark dungeon like apartment… but I need to know.. WHAT IS A TERRARIUM?

      Hello! I’ve made terrariums since I was 13 years old. They are beautiful gardens planted inside unique glass containers and are self-sustaining if done right. Have fun!

  • Do want!

    • Love it, have done my own in recent times, great to have a book for additional ideas. Thanks
