Twig. Terrariums Make a Comeback. CRAFT Project: Mason Jar Terrarium. The crafting world seems to have come down with a major case of terrarium fever, and I’m no exception. It’s so much fun creating these verdant little worlds, and I especially like that my cats can’t get to the plants inside. I’ve been having a lot of fun making woodland-themed moss terrariums for friends, so I thought I’d share what I’ve learned with CRAFT readers. You can purchase lidded glass containers at craft stores, but this project relies on reusing mason jars you may already have on hand.
The rest of the materials needed can easily be found at home and garden stores. Materials: • Glass mason jar with lid (I used an old spaghetti sauce jar) • Potting soil • Activated charcoal (sometimes called terrarium charcoal) • Small stones, pebbles, or gravel • Sheet moss (sometimes called preserved sheet moss) • Decorations (such as small toys, larger rocks, etc.) • Chopsticks or bamboo skewers • Spray paint (if desired) First prep your jar by washing and drying it.
