Terrarium Tutorial

April is the month we celebrate the Earth and this year I decided to host a small gathering at my place to bring together my crafty ladies and do something green at the same time.

The casual D.I.Y. tutorial on how to make your own terrarium only cost $20 (a special "friend rate"), which included the glass bowl, 3 succulents with fixings and the lesson, plus they got to take home the result!

Terrariums are great for those born without a green thumb, for a easy decor addition to any home or as a gift
that everyone loves (especially if it is handmade).

Here are some images from the day !


The set up

A wide variety of Bowls to chose from allows everyone to create something unique

Decisions, decisions...


Materials



Arranging can be tricky, but once you get the hang of it, it's fun



A few near completed

And the final results!



And, everyone get's a spray bottle to take home to ensure the succulents stay alive! (Over watering is just as disastrous as under-watering plants)

Thank you to everyone who participated! If you or anyone you know would like to attend the next tutorial, please email me at: joyboe@hotmail.com. I can do special events for bridesmaids, birthdays, or co-ed housewarming parties.
