5. Light Bulb Terrarium
If you still have incandescent bulbs around, one is bound to blow out any day. Use this opportunity to upgrade to a more
sustainable light source, and repurpose the edison bulb into a terrarium. Follow the
step-by-step to add your soil, moss, and finish the gift!
1. Ornament Terrarium
Spruce up boring glass ornaments by turning them into terrariums. You can use any clear glass ornament that has a removable hanger. We suggest repurposing an old ornament, or finding on at your local thrift store, but you can also find them at craft stores. Fill the hollow area with soil and small plants to complete the look. All the details for the how-to can be found here.
2. Cut-Off Bottle Terrarium
Get the look of a “ship in a bottle” by building your terrarium into a repurposed bottle laid on its side. We suggest using a tall cyclindral bottle, but you could experiment with smaller soda bottle or odd shaped. You may find a local glass cutting shop to take off the top in order to make a wider opening to plant, or your can carefully cut it yourself using string and nail polish remover. If you love this look, but are not looking to get into a DIY project, you can purchase all of the materials as a kit from Uncommon Goods.
Thanks for sharing Leticia. Love that your terrarium is wall hanging. I got really obsessed this holiday and planted 6 new terrariums!
I also invented my own terrarium, take a look at my blog:

What a great idea! They look wonderful and I’ve seen these bottles at inexpensive prices too.
