How to Create a Moss Terrarium

I started by adding my concrete into a large plastic bowl. I then mixed in water and began to stir. You want the consistency to be like oatmeal.

After I mixed the concrete, I started to prep my bowl that I will be using to create the base for my terrarium. This bowl was the perfect shape to add to the specific bowl I’m using to make my terrarium. I added oil to the inside of the bowl, making sure I covered it well. The oil is going to help with releasing the concrete from the plastic bowl.

Next, I added the concrete into the bowl and placed the glass bowl on top, making sure I pushed down on the bowl so that it would
mould
to the shape of the glass. You will then want to add weight to the top while it hardens. I also sprayed the outside with water to remove any excess concrete from the sides.

I then let the concrete dry for 24 hrs. After the concrete was dry, I removed the plastic bowl to uncover my new base. I then took a 220 grit sandpaper
and sanded smooth the concrete, making it flush with my glass.

Now comes the fun part! The first thing I did to prep my glass bowl was clean it using Windex. After that, I began to add all the materials to the glass. I first started adding in the
sand. The order in which you add your items is up to you.

The next thing I added in was the white
nuggets and then topped those with
charcoal. The main reason to use charcoal is to absorb chemicals in the soil, water, and air that can build up inside your terrarium.

After I added the charcoal, I added a layer of
Spanish Mossand
soil. Then I added the sheet moss on top.

Next, I took the other plants I picked out, and I added those to my terrarium to add some more texture, color, and contrast to the terrarium.

That’s it! Now you have a terrarium that you can add anywhere in your home that makes for some cool decor.
