Hanging Terrariums In Bathroom

I saw these mini terrariums in Big W (I am sure KMart and Target probably sell similar) and thought I would buy three for my ensuite bathroom. Not wanting to make more holes in the wall to hang a shelf I decided to use what I had plenty of. Branches. Well one branch really.
First I selected a branch that I thought will fit the space. Removed any excess timber. The branch is dead and dry so it was easy to just snap off any unwanted bits. Then I had to work out a way to make it lean where I wanted it and not fall over once the glass terrariums were tied on. So I used a rock (you could use a rock or house brick, anything that provides sufficient weight to stop it shifting) and put that in the bottom of the basket that usually holds toilet rolls. I was able to cover the rock with the toilet rolls so you could not see that there was a rock in there. Angle the branch how you want it to lean, so it does not interfere with your access to the toilet (or bath or wherever you choose to set this up).
Then, using twine, just tie the terrariums where you want them to hang. Again, just ensure that if like here for example, they are hanging near the toilet, that they don't hit you in the head while you are using the facilities!
Voila. Hang as many or as few as you like. Just for the record, things usually look better in odd numbers rather than even. You could even tie some little air plants on and just mist them with water now and again to keep them alive.

      Thank you. I was just thinking this could work for renters who are not allowed to hang stuff on walls.
