How to make a terrarium – and have a living ornament in less than an hour

Small rain forest in a jar as new life concept.

Once you find out how to make a terrarium you won't believe it's taken you this long to try it out. 

I have a few terrariums in my own home, and from experience it only takes an hour or so to create your first one. What's more, you don't need many materials either. Mason jars, goldfish bowls, candy jars and even French presses can all be used to make beautiful containers for DIY terrariums. You can also pick up mini plants cheaply, so it's an inexpensive gardening habit to acquire.
