DIY Easter Terrarium with ProFlowers

I got hooked on terrariums when I was given a small present from Twig at BlogHer in 2011.  Since then I have been dying to learn how to make one on my own but didn’t even know where to start. It turns out I didn’t have to look far, because ProFlowers has their own DIY terrarium kit that comes with everything you need to get started.  Awesome, right?

As soon as I saw the Going for a Ride Moss Terrarium on the ProFlowers site, I knew I had to have it. The picket fence, the bike, the reindeer moss – I loved it all! But, as much as I simply adored the items included in the kit, I had even greater plans for the terrarium and began to collect fun spring-themed goodies to make myself a scene that would be perfect as an Easter centerpiece.

Thank goodness the DIY terrarium kit shipped super fast and I only had to wait 1 day before it was delivered right to my door. I was so excited to dig right in {literally}, that I had the whole kit together within 20 minutes of receiving the package – and that’s including the time it took to photograph each step!

Thankfully, the included step by step instructions made creating a little terrarium world seem as easy as cooking from a box. Each step was clearly written out and easy to understand, and everything coordinated with the clearly labeled individual bags of supplies, making it simple to put together quickly and easily.

For those of you worried about mess, you will be happy to note that the kit is actually really well packed and easy to dump directly into the glass container without much spilling or requiring a bunch of extra supplies {other than a small dish with water}.  This made it easy to whip out during naptime without worrying about little hands spreading charcoal and mossy layers throughout the house.

But, because I knew they would adore putting the kit together as well, I saved the fun part for them to help with – the decorating. Once they were awake, we placed the red bicycle on the grassy knoll I created using the different types of moss and added some special rocks they had collected, including a special one that said “LOVE” and then sat back and admired our creation.

But, then we decided it wasn’t spring-y enough for our tastes, so we added some Easter ornaments we already had, complete with flowers in the bike baskets and hearts and glitter. My plan is to add some mini Easter eggs on the day of, as well as a special little bunny right by the love rock for a real Easter feel.

After having the terrarium displayed for the past few weeks, I love it more and more every time I see it. I love the Easter accessories we added in the glass container, but I’m also really looking forward to decorating it for each season.

I’m thinking of getting some mini train people and making my own small kites they can fly, maybe some fake balloons for my daughter’s birthday, and then adding some fake autumn leaves in the fall, white moss for winter, etc. I will love looking at the lush green moss even when all my houseplants shrivel up, and it will be nice to have around during the freezing temps as a little bit of summer right on my tabletop.

If you are looking at creating your own DIY terrarium you can decorate and enjoy, you should definitely check out ProFlowers and get started without going from garden store to garden store gathering supplies. Making our little Easter world was incredibly easy, mostly mess free, and most of all, a fun activity to remind us spring is on the way.
