Create a beautiful mini terrarium in under 10 minutes!

Terrariums, succulents and mini gardens are very trendy right now! Pop into any home decor store and you can find an expensive terrarium. I'll show you how to make a mini bubble terrarium for less than $10!

First, you need to gather up all of the supplies. You can find mini terrariums or bowls at discount stores including the Dollar Store! I found these bubble terrariums for $1 at the Dollar Tree!


Also, select some pebbles and rocks for your terrarium. You can have a lot of fun with colors and types of rocks.


You can find air plants at most home and garden stores! They can usually be found near the indoor plant section.


If you plan to hang your terrarium, select some rope or ribbon to tie at the top of the container.

First, when you bring your air plants home, you need to soak your them in water for 30 minutes.

While the air plants are soaking in water, you can get the terrariums ready. Add the pebbles and rocks to your container.

After the plants have soaked, remove from water and place on paper towels until you are ready to use them.


Add the air plants to the container and move the rocks around the plants to make sure they stay put.


If you plan to hang the terrarium, attach the string or rope.

    Hello! How do you hang the terrarium? What type of hook would hold a mini glass bowl?
