Design Sponge's Jar Terrarium

I made some terrariums from old jars that I had laying around. I never really throw away jars like marinara sauce jars or mayo jars. It's what I learned from my mom who kept and wash all of them. She uses them to store her endless supply of spices, or to store my dad's many variety of teas. I learned from my friend, Ruby, to use them to carry soup for lunch. Overall, jars are just simply too pretty and too useful to throw away.

I found the tutorial to make terrariums in jars from Design Sponge, which I knew because Brendan sent me a link for the Chorizo and Egg Sandwich. I gotta give credits where it's due.

It's actually really easy since I found some Irish moss, cactus, clovers, and a small plant from my mom's garden. So all it really took was 15 minutes to put it all together.











It took a few trials to wiggle the jar over the lid without squeezing onto the moss and plants' leaves. I had to remove the jar, washed it, and screwed it back onto the lid again.
