Easy DIY Terrarium - Bring a little of the outside inside!

This next project comes to us from City of Motherly Love reader, Alison.  It is perfect for those of us who are itching for a little spring.  It's also a low-cost entry to the world of indoor plants and a craft wrapped up into one.

Easy DIY Terrarium How-To

Supplies:

• Purchase a pretty jar (this one came from Home Goods)
• A small fern (from Lowe's or Home Depot)
• Potting Soil
• Moss

How-To

• Place potting soil at the bottom of your jar
• Place a small portion of a fern (with the roots attached) in the potting soil
• Surround the fern and soil with moss (Alison and her daughter collected moss from around their neighborhood)
• Spritz the plants with a water bottle
• Put the lid on the jar
• Enjoy the new zen-like attitude you will have after gazing up your indoor oasis!
