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….
