I walked around the Goodwill this week and found rounded glass bowls perfect for terrariums, so I thought I’d dish out my first thrifted DIY! I purchased the larger bowl for $3 and the smaller bowl for $2. I bought the succulents from a gardening shop for $2-5 each. I gathered the gravel, rocks, and moss from my backyard.
Remember to water your terrarium twice a month and keep in a sunlit area. Enjoy!
I think these are really cute gifts, especially for anyone who has been feeling down. Being outside and seeing green makes me a happier person. In fact, plants in an indoor environment can subconsciously lift your mood and make you more productive (Here’s a source).
I also bought this cool round bottom, long neck flask at the Goodwill for $3. I’m still deciding what to do with it. Any ideas? Let me know!

Gorgeous succulents! With the round bottom flask, I would paint it and make it into a vase, it would look awesome as a centerpiece.
Hey, thanks so much Lauren! That’s actually a really good idea! I was thinking it would look nice as a vase too.
Great job on the arrangement!! I just love this post! xo – Danielle

Jk 🙂
I absolutely love this post! I’m so obsessed with keeping tons of plants in my home. I’ll be making one of these soon! Thanks
hey, thanks so much! I’m the same way, and succulents are great because they don’t need a lot of care to survive.
I’ve been wanting to get a succulent, this display is so pretty! Thanks for the tips 🙂
You’re welcome! I appreciate it. I have a couple of these scattered around my place, they’re so fun and quick to make 🙂
Beautiful! I’ve been meaning to make terrariums for awhile–especially now that I’m in a stark cubicle. I’ve always wondered what it’s like having one in a container with no drainage holes (even though I realize that’s the point, haha). How much do you typically water them?
Hi Danielle! I usually water mine once every other week. I put some gravel at the bottom of the terrarium and keep it in a ventilated area so the roots don’t rot. Usually the less I mess with them the better they grow. They typically thrive off neglect so I’m sure it’d be great for an office space 🙂
Haha, that’s perfect for me then! Love your blog 🙂
I think with the flask you can pour in different coloured sands to make a decoration! Make sure the sand won’t tip out!
That’s a great idea! Thanks for the suggestion! 🙂
Your welcome. Glad you understood! lol Wasn’t sure how to say it! The plants are really pretty! I am glad God made them! The ones with pink look especially stunning.
thanks so much for this, ive been wanting to try this for some time.
Hi Catherine, I’m so glad! It was fun and easy to make!
