Upcycled Mason Jar Terrarium

“To plant a garden is to believe in tomorrow.”
-Audrey Hepburn

Is there anyone out there that doesn’t like succulents? I mean they seem to fit just about any decor style.

Today, I am sharing a way to use up those mason jars you have lying around in this….Upcycle Mason Jar Terrarium!

I had some succulents left over from a wedding I attended and thought a mason jar terrarium would be just the ticket to put some of these items into use.

• Wide Mouth Quart Mason Jar, spaghetti jars are usually a great size
• Piece of (leftover) String/Twine
• Small River Rocks
• Moss
• Potting Soil
• Succulents

Step 1

Make sure the jar is clean and all labels have been removed.

Step 2

Fill the bottom with small rocks, for drainage.  You can use ones from your yard or purchase them.  The cleaner they are the prettier it will look.

Step 3

Next, add a layer of moss.

Step 4

The next layer is potting soil.

Step 5

Finally, add the succulents.  If you want to cheat, you can use plastic ones (I won’t tell).  Tie a string on the outside and you are good to go.

The best thing about a terrarium, and succulents in general, is they require little care.  Place in a bright area, and water as directed.  In general, they should need little supervision.

Now you had a chance to upcycle a jar, string, and maybe even some rocks. 

Use this for home décor, centerpiece, or even a party favor.  Wouldn’t a small one be a great little gift? 

Make sure to pin it for later….

How easy was that?
