All the plants certainly brighten up any room and they make it more welcoming, but sometimes not all the places where we would like to put plants are good for them or we directly prefer something that does not require care. Whatever the reason, there is no reason to give up having plants in our house. Today We show you how to make a terrarium of artificial succulents that totally give the hit.
Do you want to see how?
Materials that we will need for our succulent terrarium
- Un bowl, planter, tray, have something special to give it an extra touch to our terrarium. You can opt for a transparent container, even a wide glass jar. I have chosen a wooden bowl.
- Earth
- Small stones to decorate
- Artificial plants that are succulents or the like. It is important when choosing these plants that do not look like plastic, but that give the impression of being real. In my case, I went to two different decoration stores to get all the plants that I am going to use. I give you two tricks to select them:
- Look at the edges. There are many artificial plants that look real but if you look at the edges you can see the joining of the sides of the plant as a burr. Avoid that.
- Thickness. The succulents have thick and tight leaves. Choose that option better when buying one or another plant.
Hands on craft
- First of all we fill 3/4 of our bowl with soil, the quality of it does not matter because it will be merely decorative. If you opt for a glass container, you can use different layers of different colored earths to give your terrarium a further touch.
- We choose the side that will be the front out of our terrarium and we started put the plants. Little by little and with patience we try different options until we find the one we like the most. If you look at the photo, the plant that was tall I have twisted to make it shorter.
- We fill with the stones, starting at the edge, then around the plants, lifting them a little to accommodate the stones. And we already fill in until the land is barely visible.
And ready! We can place our terrarium wherever we want.
I hope you cheer up and do this craft.
