Apothecary terrarium

1 hike + 3 unused apothecary jars = outdoors in the indoors.

I have had these glass apothecary jars.  I had got them as a gift, each was filled with soap, bath salts, and sponges.  All of which I've barely used.
I have been seeing a lot of terrariums around as of late, like this one, and decided that we needed one... err three, well two now because the lucky winner of the BB&H give awaay is...:cue drammatic drumroll:   Tara Jennings of Bowling Green, KY!

Didn't win?  No worries here's how it's made.

1. Gather moss from outside or garden store.
2. Layer in this order... rocks on the bottom (for drainage) 1 inch of soil, moss, rocks.
3. I also threw in some small ferns
4. Mist (water lightly) and keep closed to maintain ideal humidity. 
5. Water every 3 weeks, or if dry.

ENJOY!






































*I also thought it would be charming as wedding favors.
Most craft stores sell plastic ornaments like these, that can easily be made into a hanging terrarium. 
If you want to opt for glass you could get these which is most likely what we'd do.

These apothecary jars would look nice as the centerpieces or accent on the guest book table, or as a photo prop.
