Over the Rainbow Paper Terrarium
This Spring themed decoration is the perfect terrarium for anyone that has a hard time keeping plants alive. Check out how I made it below.
I am pretty good at keeping most of our house plants healthy, but if you have a hard time remembering to water: this DIY is for you. Have you ever tried air plants? They are very easy to keep alive. I just soak mine in water, for 20 minutes, once a month. Even when I forget to soak them they still stay alive!
Supplies Needed:
- Glass container (mine is from a thrift store, I think it’s an old outdoor light shade)
- Decorative sand
- Air plant
- My cloud/trailer print out and rainbow printout
- Floral foam
- Wire
- Toothpicks
- Hot glue
- Moss
Step 1:
Cut out a small piece of floral foam to fit at the base of your container. My foam was about an inch thick. Just short enough to hide under the sand.
Step 2:
Pour in your sand.
Cut out your trailer, clouds, and rainbow. I included multiple sizes for you, so you can choose what works best for your terrarium. Hot glue your clouds to a bit of wire and all the trailer and rainbow to toothpicks.
Arrange the paper terrarium pieces in your container. I added a teensy bit of moss to sit around the trailer. Once you’re happy with how it looks, place your air plant. I made sure to place my air plant in a spot I can easily grab it for when I need to soak it in water.
Enjoy!
