I just made this adorable terrarium for my dad, who had surgery this week. It was super easy to make. I found the bottle at the recycle center (free!!) and cut it using my new favorite gadget. I glued twine around the top (to cover up what is obviously a wine jug) and to the bottom edge (to cover a small chip). I placed the jug in the base and glued a few of the rocks in place. I am hoping this will make access easier. I added small rocks, like the ones in the arrangement, to the center of the larger rocks, for the glass to sit on. I arranged the plants in a clear plastic saucer (again for accessibility). And the final touch was a tiny turtle. All together I spent under $20 and have lots of leftovers to make one for me :).
