  • Colorful terrarium
  • You'll need a container, gravel or small stones, charcoal, potting soil, some small plants and fun doodads to liven the place up.
  • This is the cracker jar with its silver lid.  I scuffed the lid up with sandpaper and spray painted it a pretty turquoise color.
  • See, pretty turquoise!
  • I layered 1/2 inch of stones followed by 1 inch of charcoal and topped by 2 1/2 inches of potting soil.
  • Plant your plants, set up your doodads, mist the foliage and screw on the lid.
  • OK, this Phlox really has to go back outside to get planted in the ground now. 1

Colorful Terrarium Tutorial

Have you seen those cracker jars at Walmart and Hobby Lobby? Love those things. They come with a plain Jane silver lid, but I spray painted mine to give it a more vintage/vibrant feel. ...»
And then turned it into a terrarium!

The simple instructions are beneath the photos.

Too much time on my hands made this over the weekend, and it is all from scrap wood. This definitely is a proto type. I am going to make an official one along with some furniture and ...»

  • Spice Disarray. Have you ever purchased an extra jar of paprika because you couldn't find the old one in your cabinet? Always a bummer. Your spices may have started out organized, but each new jar adds a little more disorder.

  • Do you want to have gorgeous, low-maintenance flower beds?

  • This shady side yard AND our sunny flower beds stay looking good even through the hot Summer.  What's the secret?
  • A Rainbird automatic watering system we purchased from Home Depot -- and it's a DIY project! 1
  • Here's a close-up of one of the spray heads.
  • See how gently it mists the plants?  Just as I showed you with the hanging ferns, the system is connected to a water faucet and a timer.  In the heat of Summer, we water twice a day for 10 minutes each time.
  • You can even use this system with your container plants.  Here's a close-up of a drip head.
  • And here's a pot of strawberries with a spray-style head.  Guess what?  I'm headed out of town soon, and I don't have to ask a neighbor to water the plants -- or come home to dead ones!  Wouldn't you like to say the same?  You can!
