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!

[@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!

[@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❤

[@mariapena4712]

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

[@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.

[@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!

[@katiegray14]

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

[@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”

[@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.

[@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.❤

[@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!

[@marymurphy1226]

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

[@lindalee601]

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

[@betsytrippie]

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

[@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!

[@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!

[@dalerenski4899]

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

[@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! 💌

[@zormier2002]

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

[@sandistolle4874]

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

[@lilygirl2719]

"Do you like my RAM?" 🤣😂 love Aaron, he's hysterical.

[@debikutzer2774]

That terrarium needs a green army dude 😉

[@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

[@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.

[@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!❤❤

[@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 🥰

[@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.

[@charmainerohde8575]

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

[@chulette6029]

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

[@suenelson338]

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

[@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 !!

[@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 🧚‍♂️

[@karengenero9012]

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

[@hildac9670]

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

[@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😊

[@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 ;)

[@lgrillo]

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

[@klairigun]

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

[@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. 😍

[@gretchenburton7184]

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

[@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.

[@elizabethharrell8707]

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

[@cookiescott2165]

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

[@debbiemacy3840]

I love to watch you do terrariums and fairy gardens.

[@wynorawishum5860]

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

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

[@barbarajohnson1348]

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

[@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.

[@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....🎉❤😊

[@pippas5808]

You make it look so easy. Every time I try this, I get soil and gravel EVERYWHERE!

[@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!

[@michelebushnik2874]

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

[@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 ❤

[@kathrynriggs2489]

That is a great idea!

[@allison471]

Brilliant idea! Someone else in the comments repurposed a large Yankee candle jar with lid 😊

[@dellablair5854]

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

[@CookiesAndCosmos]

"RAM" and "fairy gardens"...You two are absolutely hilarious!!! Also..."I don't know how people plant in those real skinny neck [bottles]" says the girl who "fashion[ed] [her]self some really long tools to work with" as she planted succulents in a very narrow neck bottle laying at about a 25° angle. Do I remember right? I couldn't believe the delicate work you did! You do amazing craftsmanship and are a creative genius and yet you are incredibly humble and self effacing. Thank you for sharing what you do! I love it! P.S. I love the fairy. She is the surprise a gardener wants in their garden. This is just a smaller scale garden.

[@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?

[@claracorimao1024]

A blessed evening evryone..

[@user-kv2ks4mm4z]

Leave the fairy. Turned out so cute.

[@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!

[@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. 💜💜💙💙💙

[@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.

[@wingedinfinity6715]

The Fairy is excellent ‼️☺️🥰💥🧚🏻‍♂️🌺💥 Love the idea of using a syringe for the watering. LOVE ALL OF IT ‼️💥🙌💥

[@cockatielnation5425]

Lo e the "drone shot" of the terrarium!

[@paulapeeler3157]

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

[@sandy-rr1by]

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

[@carries1830]

Perfect with the Itty bitty flower...and "you under estimate my love of ram." LOL Love your channel.

[@lilyfae2615]

I had the same reaction when you put the towel under the container and it stopped rocking hahaha. Too cute!!!

[@judymooney]

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

[@user-mj8yt7uk7b]

Would love to see how you organize everything all your supplies and tools that sounds simple but I’m truly interested I can never find anything I need when I need it!

[@gwendolina4491]

We love the fairy 🧚

[@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!

[@andreamorrison8419]

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

[@mimicentavo]

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

[@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.

[@pattimiller7914]

So sweet! Glad you left the fairy 🧚

[@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.

[@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.

[@andreagrowsthings]

I love the fairy and Irish moss especially! Don’t listen to sassy Aaron 😂- the fairy is perfect 😍

[@tinashockley2782]

Too cute. I love going back and watching the small projects such as this in years past. What was Samantha’s reaction to 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.🧚‍♂️ 🩷💘

[@sonnysome3201]

The way you tucked those ferns in your vest said it all. Loved the terrarium :). Do you happen to recall where you found that bowl/container?

[@lonerank]

😂😂😂I felt the same as you when the glass was rocking- what a relief when you put the white cloth under 🤗👍

[@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!

[@anitamurray5619]

You make us want to plant a tiny garden in the winter.

[@martihurford]

Do you (or your mom) ever put on a Terrarium Workshop at the Garden Center during the winter months?

[@shelleymalone4427]

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

[@21shalimar]

Laura, can you please do something with that bird cagey thing that's on the top shelf in the studio? I have been eyeing that for quite awhile and have my fingers crossed you'll use it in a project! I love a good " project"!☺

[@cindyfranklin1191]

Aaron can use a polarizing filter on the camera lens to mitigate the glare on the glass.

[@patricia.g1651]

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

[@sgdodson8270]

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

[@lbchristensen8732]

That came out so cute, especially with the fairy.

[@audreyholt7721]

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

[@pattywestridge2006]

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

[@susiefrederickson660]

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

[@amysgardenstead2879]

Love the way you were able to add the gravel layer for texture. Does the sweet face of the fairy remind anyone else of Samantha’s smile?

[@user-ut1dn3ot7y]

noticed the video was filmed Thursday when you mentioned the -5 on Tuesday, which is today 😅 hope y'all are staying warm!
