Fishes & Chips

*I have always loved terrariums, like little, tiny, worlds trapped in a jar. But they all seem to be pretty expensive, so I thought I’d attempt to make some for myself. I had a few large, antique, ball jars that I had collected and I thought they just might work. Below is how I did it…

Start with some oversized ball jars and fill the bottom with an inch or two of small rock rocks.

After adding your plants to the jar, take the lid and drill a large hole in the center slightly larger then the width of the rope you will use to hang the jars with. Then drill three smaller holes around the larger one for air flow.

After your holes are drilled, slip your rope through the larger hole from the top and tie a tight knot on the bottom side. Then close the lid on your jar and we are almost done…

Finally take some screw hooks and securely screw them into the ceiling. Tie a noose knot with the end of your rope and hang your finished hanging terrariums at different heights for all to see and enjoy. To water your plants simply unscrew your lid and pour in some water.
