Putting Together a Simple Terrarium! 🪴💚🪴 // Garden Answer

[@RaeC]

Super cute terrarium. We cleaned out old large Yankee candle jars. Added the soil and rock and then foraged the yard for moss and decor. I have had mine covered with the candle top for two years now and it’s beautiful. It was a great way to recycle. We did this for a party and all the guests brought one home. They loved making them. Enjoy the day.

[@juliabaumgras4304]

What a great idea to use old candle jars! Thank you for sharing! Think I'll give it a try.

[@kathydove5429]

Good cold morning from Missouri, currently -7 degrees… (come on spring) oh I love the terrarium, and the little fairy! I would definitely purchase that if I saw it in a store! Love what you do! Stay warm!!

[@CrazyCatLady1968]

So smart! A brilliant way to recycle those pretty jars ❤

[@keepemkozy]

Wish I would have thought of that!

[@beckyisabell4324]

I’ve always wanted a terrarium I’m going to try. Thanks

[@angelaroberts173]

I make terrariums with my second grade students each year. We use two two-liter bottles that I cut so we can plant in one and the other nests into that one to create a cover. This year we planted a philodendron, peperomia, and a tradescantia plant in them. We always plant them before winter break and then the students take them home for Mother's Day in May. This year we have about 70 terrariums sitting in my classroom windowsills.

[@elizabethmccarthy1752]

You can always make a cone out of an A4 sheet of paper and direct soil or little ricks to the area you want them to go in instead of trying to fit your hand in a tight vase :). Great terrarium!

[@PatriciaAShelton-no6cq]

Terrariums are fun. Easy to care for. The fairy brought interest, just hanging out there among all the green. And that tiny white flower ,looks like spring has arrived in there.

[@chrissihr1031]

I love when you make terrariums and fairy gardens! It’s one of the reasons I look forward to your winter content. So fun!

[@debbiekowal3983]

The fairy was exactly what this garden needed! Too cute! And the little white flower is adorable too! Thank you for sharing your gifts and talents with us!

[@ritagraham]

I would love to see Samantha’s first look at this. I bet she likes it.

[@melissabean8144]

I totally agree 💯 her lil face would lite up❤

[@katiegray14]

I kept thinking over and over how much patience you have to put this together! It turned out lovely ☺️

[@fireflyintheroom]

✨Laura's artsy side strikes again!✨ You have inspired me to make so many fairy gardens and terrarium videos throught the years. Thank you for another sweet project! 💌

[@mariapena4712]

You know you’re a plant mom when you tuck them inside your jacket. 🪴 ❤

[@eveaYT2625]

LOVE ❤️ IT WELL DONE ❤PEACE AND PEACE WITH BLESSINGS 🙏 ❤

[@betsytrippie]

The fairy is perfect! I really love how her flower hat mirrors that sweet moss flower.

[@sherylemoore8626]

The little fairy created the perfect central spot to focus on. I like the shape of the glass. I am really enjoying your winter projects. The snow is falling gently here in Northern Virginia and we are looking at temps in the 20's. Indoor projects are the perfect balm for cabin fever. Thank you for all the inspiration!

[@michellegordon1822]

Love all your little fairy gardens, they're so magical! Especially this time of year with snow outside and a heart yearning for spring.

[@zormier2002]

Love the little white flower. So precious. Love the fairy in there. You are very creative Laura.

[@lindalee601]

It's sooo pretty ❤. The little white flowers are precious.

[@trishrobinson1523]

Lord we come to you with humble submission asking prayers for our friend pepperonia. We know it has few roots but is a blessing to us all , we ask that you help her grow.amen.

[@elizabethharrell8707]

I've always wanted to make one just never have, thanks for tutorial! Aaron and the fairy...so funny..

[@marymurphy1226]

Sounds like she a surgeon talking us thru a procedure!!! Lovely!

[@irenesnyder1819]

Laura, the next time you and your mom go thrifting/antiquing, be on the lookout for a large Lazy Susan so you can get a 360 degree view of what you're working on (and can turn it to the camera easily). I have one on my potting bench and another on my crafts table, and they make viewing what I work on easier. Now you've got me in the mood to make a terrarium!

[@dalerenski4899]

Its so sweet reminds me of Samantha playing by the pond. Thank you for sharing how to create this terraium.

[@ozarkview928]

I had a terrarium for years of things I gathered in my woods .Now I need to make another one ! Yours is beautiful ❤️. Thanks for the inspiration!

[@megandoty2162]

I rewatched the “I love RAM” part so many times 😂. Thanks for suggesting the mason jar. As a 4H mom, that instantly gave me project ideas! Do you think 2” of soil is sufficient?

[@allison471]

@megandoty2162 Someone in the comments repurposed a large Yankee candle glass container to make a terrarium and as you might know they have a glass lid... what a great idea! 😊

[@lisag6796]

I think so. It looks like Laura put around an inch of soil into hers.

[@chulette6029]

I rewatched that part too!!! The editing around her response was golden! Chefs kiss to the editor. 😘

[@paulacausey1088]

The terrarium is so pretty, love the fairy you placed. Thank you for the inspiration Laura.❤

[@carmenmarcinkiewicz7149]

This turned out so cute! With the gravel and rocks placed where they are, it looks as if the fairy is sitting next to a stream!❤❤

[@chulette6029]

I love that the fairy has a flower hat that mimics the little flower from the moss. So dang cute! Love this.

[@love2laffwithu356]

So pretty to look at. I’m glad you kept the fairy. She’s so sweet. I’m sure the kids enjoy looking at your masterpiece. Will Benjamin try to use your fairy in his army fights? 😂 … save the fairy from the enemies lol

[@be_you2023]

12:40 Who would have thought RAMS 💻 and 🧚🏻 Fairy gardens would feature in this video 😂. Love it!

[@oceanbreezes1]

I think maybe I’ve been living under a rock, what is “RAM”

[@joannam369]

@@oceanbreezes1I’m wondering the same?! Figured it out after rewatching twice. RAM - random access memory, computer term. .he put more ram on his computer lol

[@Madeen1982]

I thought he wanted a ram, the animal, in the terrarium instead of a fairy. 😆

[@oceanbreezes1]

@@joannam369 thank you 💐

[@oceanbreezes1]

@@Madeen1982 hahaha I was wondering the same , I was thinking “we’re gonna’ need a bigger terrarium”

[@valgoodridge1810]

Samantha and Benjamin will love the little fairy surprise.

[@debikutzer2774]

That terrarium needs a green army dude 😉

[@sophiagager]

I really enjoyed watching you put this together. It was very peaceful and calming somehow. I've never done one before but every time you put one together I'm always tempted to try. Thanks for always inspiring me 🥰

[@charmainerohde8575]

I can't imagine the terrarium without the fairy and the mini flower next to her!!!

[@joyceschneider8377]

Laura, have you ever showed Samantha Grace the show where you made the fairy garden, to tell "us" the baby announcement? You do a great job. Can't wait to find the pieces to make one tomorrow in the COLD. Stay warm and cozy. Thank you again.

[@sandistolle4874]

Surprised at how little soil you need, and how little the rootballs are. It’s lovely

[@lgrillo]

Absolutely YES, YES, YES to the fairy! She makes it!

[@jgg7377]

Absolutely adorable 🥰🪴🧚 I just love it! I think the addition of the little fairy really made it for me! That is how I first found you many many years ago when I was searching for fairy 🧚 gardens and I was hooked from there! I love your channel! Thank you for all your years of doing KZbin, I have learned so much! 🪴🌸🦋🐝🐞

[@debbiemacy3840]

I love to watch you do terrariums and fairy gardens.

[@barbarajohnson1348]

God has really blessed you with talent. What a magnificent start to day. So beautiful.

[@hildac9670]

Thank you for making me feel good this morning just watching how you put this beautiful peace together, love it!!

[@saundrawilliams1601]

You could put a lid if you wanted to. Just turn one of your gray pot saucers upside down over the opening. That’s beautiful and very timely, I have a 2 gallon pickle jar with a lid I’ve been wanting to turn into a terrarium but could not remember layering. Your tip on the gravel was helpful because I was under the impression it was a necessary element, but the faux layer is beautiful. Thank Miss Laura!

[@wynorawishum5860]

Very cute, perfect for this time of year. Have a blessed day everyone. Stay warm and safe.

[@gretchenburton7184]

The sweetest terrarium🎉Samantha will be delighted to see this, Benjamin, too❤❤❤

[@KipperCzapla-tg7rb]

Ohh I bet Samantha would love this fairy garden!! So cute! That little flower makes it 😍

[@deborahhopkins7763]

I love it ! I think the little fairy girl kinda gives a nod to Samantha. 😍

[@celsal2000]

Love the addition of the fairy 🧚. It looks magical, like if she is taking a break after picking berries. And that flower is an extra little sparkle to that magical scene.

[@kathy8832]

Good morning! Such a pretty project. Love this terrarium. So simple but so easy.

[@janefoust2785]

Glad you added the fairy, and I agree - the little white flower is adorable right near the fairy. Probably won't get this out of my head until I try one. Enjoy!

[@suenelson338]

I love seeing how you put them together and I’m hoping you’re putting together another fairy garden, miniature one

[@paulapeeler3157]

Super cute! That tiny white flower is perfect next to the sweet little fairy...

[@joemcdaniel6341]

I never put fairies in my fairy gardens because I once read, " You can't see fairies with your eyes because they live in your heart." Instead I put their belongings, a table and chair, a wheelbarrow, or a tiny bed. Anything that shows they live there.

[@windust4503]

I have been watching some videos on this lately as I thought it would be fun to create one for our home. It was serendipitous that you did this video before I started. I see everyone using the layer of rock, and I would have done so as well. Thank you for sharing the reason why not to. I trust your advise, Laura ;)

[@shelleymalone4427]

Definitely keep the fairy. She just adds the whimsical touch to the terrarium. Samantha will love it.

[@cookiescott2165]

It reminds me of beautiful Samantha Grace just in time for her Birthday. Laura it turned out beautiful. Thank you ❤❤❤❤

[@karengenero9012]

That little fairy could be Samantha Grace! So cute. Belated Happy Birthday greetings!

[@lonaphillips9617]

Fun! Samantha should enjoy the fairy garden!

[@smoothsailingmp]

Nice, Laura ...glad you let the little girl figureine stay...love her flower hat ..Sweet! Can still hear your congestion...God's speed in your healing. It doesn't sound terrible...only concerned for you....🎉❤😊

[@loriallison1786]

Really cute, Laura! That Dream rock would be especially sweet to have your fairy's feet braced against! 😊 Another piece of moss on that soil in front of her would be great too. Thanks for the inspo!

[@DonnaGorman-b5n]

Leave the fairy. Turned out so cute.

[@michelebushnik2874]

Omg it's adorable!! Samantha Grace and Benjamin are going to think so too❤❤

[@cindyhunter7325]

Great job Laura! It's so cute but the one thing that I would add is a patch of moss for the fairy to sit on.

[@barbararichmond499]

I love seeing you make the Terrariums, fairy gardens and any small gardens, whether you have to keep them inside or you can have them outside in good weather. It’s a fun thing to learn.

[@claracorimao1024]

A blessed evening evryone..

[@pattimiller7914]

So sweet! Glad you left the fairy 🧚

[@klairigun]

Imagine if you had a tiny jewel orchid in there. Oh my, that would be amazing!

[@audreyholt7721]

I just asked my husband this morning, “ how many days to spring?” A project like this makes it seem just a little closer.

[@susiefrederickson660]

Never been a fan of fairy gardens for myself but always enjoy watching Laura work her magic✨

[@sandy-rr1by]

The tiny white flower is same size of those in the fairy basket...sweet little garden.

[@royde-bo-hun3113]

Oh my gosh it's beautiful. You packed sooo much in that bowl. Goodness. I love the fairy. She belong right there. I love it. Soooo cute. 💜💜💙💙💙

[@iartistdotme]

That Irish moss blossom is the STAR of the show! So pretty!

[@truthtalker4038]

I put that Irish moss in my garden this summer, and I LOVED the little white flowers on it! I didn't know it bloomed, so it was a very sweet surprise! And I love that it is zone 4!

[@brittneyemerson2079]

I love how the fairy’s hat looks just like the moss flower she’s sitting next to. Cute! For folks trying this project perhaps they could mock up their arrangement on the table first and then strategically place the outermost/less reachable plants/stones first and work your way to the exit of the vessel they are using rather than trying to go back in and around without dislodging things. Chopsticks or long tweezers would also help with the long skinny vessels you spoke of.

[@karenturner7983]

Idea, get costumes for your kiddos and take pictures of them around the pond area and make it look like a fairy garden. Wouldn't that be adorable !!

[@judymooney]

So pretty. Reminds me of the many terrariums I made in the 70's.

[@kmjnkns]

Leave the fairy! So magical!

[@sandialdrich1308]

Your program is the first thing I see in the morning. 😂 UTube and Laura. Then I get a cup of coffee ☕️. Loving the fairy 🧚‍♂️

We love the fairy 🧚

[@andreamorrison8419]

I love the terrarium. Super with the fairy in it. Maybe a colorful rock or 2

[@sandyg8794]

Hi Laura and Aaron! The terrarium turned out nice. I think it's ok to use a layer of rocks in a terrarium because you use very little water, unlike when watering houseplants. Thank you so much for sharing!

[@dellablair5854]

Back in the late 70s, early 80s. My mother-in-law and I both had large terrariums..

[@melissamanning3175]

This video was so peaceful. I had a really tough day at work and I’m watching this video in my car while waiting for my daughter to finish dance class. It was just what I needed to clear my mind and relax. Thank you!

[@mimicentavo]

Ahh...so satisfying watching you make this. Thumbs up for the little fairy...whimsy is my vibe!

[@sharoncoon5439]

Love the terraium! The fairy adds a beautiful touch to it.

[@vallietmc9553]

So fun to see you create a terrarium! Great idea to use a tiny figurine to make it fun for the children to enjoy? Don't forget that you have blinds in the Hartley! You should consider getting some squares of felt, race the bases that you just sealed, and ask your son to cut them out for you.

[@claudiaceleste777]

I found a couple of huge bottles with cork lids on FB marketplace, and have had terrariums in there for years now. I don’t open them very often, but when I do I stick my nose in there and take a deep breath; they smell like a forest and are a hit of serotonin to me.

[@patricia.g1651]

I like to use chopsticks to move things around when making terrariums. I love the fairy!

[@janetbendes9216]

When you had glass on 1st table 12:40 it looked like the fairy was sitting around lanterns which reminded me of fireflies...beautiful display.🧚‍♂️ 🩷💘

[@msv3402]

That terrarium was so beautiful with the addition-of the fairy, and the single white bloom from the moss.

[@heymelissa123]

The whole ram talk was so random😂 i thought you were referring to the animal and had to rewatch a couple times and just chuckled. So funny. Your videos always make me happy and bring inspiration. Love it😊

[@KrestynBarton]

I love watching a terrarium come together, so satisfying! I have a lantern I would love to turn into a terrarium, I think I’ll give that a go! Always inspiring ❤

Love the fairy. Reminds me of Samantha barefoot out in nature 💞

[@caroledelahunt7548]

Love the simplicity of this. The last class I took had so many layers and this makes much more sense. Makes me want to try making one again. Could you use succulents too?

[@OfftoShambala]

I love how Laura still does a lot of the same stuff us poor gardeners do… stick the plants under the jacket… no gloves to mix soil… one of the many reasons why we love Laura.

[@rangerjudi9144]

It's not a fairy, it's little Samantha resting and eating her berries 🥰🍓🫐Absolutely adorable!

[@pattywestridge2006]

I absolutely love it its so cute, I would leave the fairy in there it makes it pop

I like it. Very charming...and I like the little fairy, sitting in her little forest. Cute!
