So, we’ve been seeing these awesome little things in stores lately and have come close to purchasing a few until we saw the price tag… What are they, even? Well, one of our favorites trends to hit recently are these adorable little terrariums. Not sure why they are so expensive to buy, but we know this, they look just as great if not better when you make them, and are much more fun to look at or give as gifts when you create your own terrariums. Super easy to do, DIY terrariums are at the top of our DIY gift giving list since they are cheap, creative and are a personalized statement. From cool succulent and cactus ideas in bottles and jars to elaborate frames and fun ways to use air plants, you are sure to find one or more projects here that you simply have to make. We love decorating with terrariums and want to make every single one of these. We know you will, too. Enjoy!

Since I lover experiments, I’ve alwaysnloved to create, paint, as well as cook and style food. I feel in love with DIY as soon as I discovered it and could not have been more excited when I learned I could share projects with people around the world. Taking photos is a passion of mine, as is design and painting with oils. I love holidays and celebrations, crafting cute little gifts and serving up at least one new recipe I am excited about.
