There is so many inspirational ideas
for DIY mini terrariums in Net land.
You can use moss, interesting rocks, small stones,
bulbs - like grape hyacinths,
mini varieties of orchids,
and air plants (tillandsias).
Decorate with crystals,
miniature fairy scenes,
or just a singular mini item as a focal point.
You just place your chosen selection of items
into jars, big or small, cloches, fishbowls, lightbulbs or bottles!
I thought I would create one in a large mason jar,
but then I remembered tucked away in a cupboard
was this sweet wee terrarium that my son made many years ago.
It was perfect.
In a not perfect rustic kinda way.
In the bottom I placed a small amount of fine bark.
Arabella (assistant editor) had a little help from Clea today
with her usual pre 'next step' inspections.
With a flick of that chocolate coloured tail,
Arabella declared 'you may proceed to plant!".
A larger piece of moss-covered bark was placed inside,
and a baby fern was planted.
A tiny impatiens seedling joined themalong with the Eiffel Tower!
A quenching spray of water to finish.
The mini metal Eiffel Tower
is the perfect addition to the terrarium as a focal point.
It is official!
I'm in love with it!
Anything French, anything Eiffel tower, and my heart is completely lost!
You would never guess what it really is, though...
Shall I tell you?
This just has to be the cutest Eiffel tower pencil sharpener you've ever seen!
The completed terrarium looks fabulous on the French side table.
