DIY Mini 3 World Zen Garden Terrarium

[@SerpaDesign]

It seems like ages since I last made a proper terrarium on the channel. So, I took the idea of a zen garden and combined it with a terrarium. What do you think of the result? I think it turned out awesome. I hope you all enjoyed the video and have a great weekend! PS - Sorry for the late upload. This one took AWHILE to edit.

[@sheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee7548]

I think it looks amazing!

[@NO.OFFENSE]

Hello again 👋, you my friend do not need to apologise for being late in upload I would wait for time 🤗🤗 Helpful and caring for creating life. Have a great time this weekend. Blessed Be 🤗😎

[@NO.OFFENSE]

@@saqquire Sapphire I would like to say Hello 👋 and thanks and hope you remember to take pictures often so you can see the time laps to see what you have made and how Nature finds a way always. Thanks for the communication and Blessed Be 🤗

B E A utiful!

[@madusalove1560]

Maaaaaaaaan, soooooo delicate, so detailed,so small and so beautiful. I love working with small detailed ideas,it is very time consuming but in the end its worth it. Kudos to you again you never cease to amaze me Tanner. I am so thankful and honored to be part of the Serpa squad . Keep it coming and keep up the incredible art of nature. Loving it!

[@pennypaton3079]

Oh dear, a candle holder becomes a terrarium. I love it. Everything starts looking like aquariums, terrariums, ponds etc.... Vases, candle holders, fruit bowls, terracotta garden pot pond... I love it when items like that can be repurposed and reused. Great work again....

[@wasabi1842]

something i love about artists is, that no matter the level or detail of craft, hotglue will always be a tool. its just so silly

[@afarmerspuresource7963]

If it don't need fixed then why fix it lol 😂 hot glue sounds like one of them lol

[@TheFreeBro]

People hate on hot glue way too much. It has a specific use case and this is a perfect usage for it. No one is building houses with it, but for small crafts that aren’t moving much it’s perfect

[@drjosephfarah]

It’s like NASA and duct tape!

[@Sin_Alder]

I respect people that use hot glue, largely because it means they have the patience of a saint if they can deal with all of the glue strings getting all over the place. They just drive me crazy, and are seemingly almost impossible to entirely remove, so I tend to avoid my hot glue gun like the plague.

[@bobroberts7643]

Cool 😊

[@PRXFpv]

Tanner, as always, you're kept things as cheap and DIY as possible while making a piece among envy from professionals! This was an amazing video, and something I could see myself doing (if i ever find the motivation since i know it wont be as stellar as yours).

[@luclin92]

Kinda shows you that as long as you just are a little creative you can make some fun stuff

[@BTF829]

Did the spider in the Sphagnum Moss in the last bubble stay in the build? Love this idea! It looks amazing! :-)

[@AkaTenshin]

16:10 for the curious

[@chuck89l]

I was wondering the same thing

[@jonathan__g]

I wondered the same thing too.

[@lolcatz88]

I wonder if he could survive by eating springtails alone?

[@SesshouFan22]

I came to ask that, too!

[@raelingarr]

Love the little spider friend in the mossy scape! Hope he makes a home there.

[@KatieDawson3636]

What sprider? He only added springtails!

[@Jen.K]

I found your channel today after searching for terrarium ideas. I've watched several of your videos and can't believe how creative and talented you are. Everything you do is beautiful, functional... and basically perfect. You make things which I look for in stores, but never find. I just watched the mini-aquarium for snails, and was left speechless, but now, this zen garden triple terrarium.......no words!!

[@shotgundarling3864]

Dude I was blown away when you placed the clear marbles! You’re so creative I really like watching your videos, they’re so calming to me. I wish I could shrink down to fairy size so I can explore cool terrariums like this. 🧚🏻‍♀️🏞 Good work dude! 🌱🐸👍🏻

[@pkoppart]

The fact that you get such beautiful ideas by looking at ordinary things, is just amazing. Another class piece of work.

[@ceciwolfcat7]

Honestly they're all adorable🥰 What a unique gorgeous little piece!

[@katekursive1370]

"They're kind of rough, but that's alright." - Look, I don't ĥave money for therapy, this is all I got, and I'll take it.

[@Lazy_Fish_Keeper]

This channel is better than a lot of therapy, imo

[@ashclark9614]

Gosh is that ever a mood

[@angelflores7420]

BRO IF THIS AINT THE TRUEST STATEMENT💀‼️

[@agood1]

came here to basically say this. I dont buid these... I watch Tanner build them haha

[@KatieDeGo]

Excellent alternative

[@DannyMorrs]

This might be my favourite video that I have seen on this channel. The vibe of the video, the easy to follow tutorial, the end result. This is the sort of content that can inspire people. I wish this sort of stuff would be promoted more, since it shows how just a bit of work can create an amazing result for yourself and others.

[@pedroluisroman1263]

I didn’t even notice this was a 20 minute video. This was awwesome!

[@sangieta238]

OMG it's GORGEOUS! It's AWESOME. It's a MASTER PIECE. I love IT. It's ADORABLE. Your PASSION brings SMILE. Thank you so much.

[@biscuitEMT]

Just when I thought the terrarium options were exhausted...this is amazing! Endlessly creative.

[@julierobertson9397]

Your creativity never ceases to astound me. The terrariums are not only beautiful but they serve the same purpose as a full-scale zen garden - gazing for hours without boredom.

[@yungmief08]

without realizing, this has quickly become my favorite channel

[@yungmief08]

i like the one on the left. and i watched the whole thing. keep up the awesome work!

[@rat_dragon]

Yes, finally!!! A terrarium build - my favorite series! :D

[@SerpaDesign]

Enjoy!

[@karylleannedaitol2543]

I like the one with the dragon wood the best! Your terrariums truly are the most mystical, wonderful, and serene ones out there. The way you explain the process of building it is also very calming and therapeutic. Thank you for this.

[@Fonske]

I can't decide what I love more... the piece as a whole, the little scapes, the zen sand, or the tiny tools. Thanks for another amazing build!

[@thesneakytechie9706]

I just said to myself earlier today that it's been a while since Tanner uploaded a terrarium build and here it is!! Thank you! :')

[@orewatowi]

I think this build is absolutely lovely. My favorite sphere is the left, because it looks like a tiny scene in a forest with miniature ivy! One of these days I will build my own terrarium, you inspire me so much Tanner!

[@DevonDowner]

I used to have the exact container that I bought about 7 years ago with the intention to make terrariums, but I never did! Mine didn’t have a stand with it though. This video really fulfills my previous desire to turn it into a terrarium and I love it!!! Beautiful work, as always.

[@archangelauriel007]

The stand he used was just a triple candle holder he bought separately.

[@NibiruOrigin]

KZbin randomly recommended this channel, and I'm happy that the algorithm actually worked out positively for once. I'd second that the center bulb was my favorite. I know Tanner was going for a forest look, but it really reminded me of how when you're approaching a beach, and the grass starts to give way to the sandy shoreline. Love it. Also, a lot of people sleep on how useful a solid wire is as a tool. Back during one of my old jobs, I considered it one of my best tools.

[@dustymar4341]

my favorite is the one to the left end. that quercifolia really sets it off with that contrast

[@jeanettemayer646]

they simply stunning !!!! you have made ancestors proud !!!! :D

[@Aquafinity]

Very beautiful indeed! Serpa design inspired me to create a fishkeeping channel! 🐟🐠

[@jessethomas4777]

I think this is one of my favourite terrariums since I started watching back in the Spring. I agree that the tray could be larger if it is to be used as a zen garden, but the footprint does look nice for the size of the terrariums. The marble on top was the perfect final touch.

[@Madame_Nox]

My favorite is : all the 3 of them, plus the tools aswell, the container with those open connections/passing through, the base.. they all complement each other very well and the result is so peaceful

[@naenae8001]

I love it. the reflection in the clear marble is an awesome effect.

[@rachelkunz611]

You are gifted in such a stunning way. So many beautiful slices of nature you have created. Thank you for sharing with us.

[@chickenlord9779]

There is only one word to describe what this guy is and what he does is and that’s awesome

[@sophiadittmar1505]

Stunning! My 9 year old sister was transfixed by this video, and we are just in awe of your talent and gift! Thanks for sharing :)

[@oliviaking5789]

Definitely one of my favourites! And I'm so happy to see some springtails again! I miss the cleanup crew when it isn't part of a build

[@ShroomDay0117]

My favorite is in the center as well, Does anyone else see the piece of wood that looks like an old woman with a big smile on her face and waving as if to say "HELLO". It's the far right piece of wood in the center globe. When i first saw it going in it looked like it she was saying "Yay, I got picked". I love these videos! Tanner, you do such beautiful work.

[@tracybowling97]

You are a part of my Saturday morning routine. Thank you!!

[@debbiehowell9464]

Spectacular !!! Its a most beautiful piece. I'm so happy you had a vision to use these for something other than a candle. Your design elevated the piece.

[@archivingcolorado8005]

Epic build man, been watching you grow as you and others inspired me to persue my passion, thank you for giving me something to be happy for.

[@SerpaDesign]

Follow your dreams!

[@pricklykitty939]

That turned out great for sure! It makes a better zen garden than any candle holder. Quite clever!

[@MrDJsArcade]

Such a unique glass to start with

[@leemasters3592]

12.14 am here but your videos are worth staying up for. I like the marbles to seal with- they blend in well. I like all 3 spheres pretty evenly but if I HAVE to choose I like the centre best.

[@citrus-eater]

Awesome build as always! I’m always so mesmerized by zen gardens and I’m super glad to see this implemented in your builds! Perhaps one day we could see a build on a bigger scale :D maybe with a bonsai maple or a levitating pot!

[@l8ns]

This channel is 🔥. Years ago I made a couple sand Zen Gardens very similar to yours minus the terrariums. Wow this blows my mind. I like putting my favorite little rocks and crystals in the sand. Sometimes they get buried only to be found again. So much fun and relaxing. Thanks for sharing 👍

[@mntryjoseph1961]

Very cool! I like the center one, the best too!

[@deborahweisz377]

Stunning!

[@yello24]

the tiny spider at 16:12 found his new home

[@livingspacedust4144]

This has to be my favorite so far, I will forever have a miniature zen garden on my plant shelf because of my aunt

[@loriw2661]

This is absolutely gorgeous!! So much talent and I love how it turned out. You’re a master of what you do!

[@claysoggyfries]

What a precisely made terrarium

[@ethancampbell7773]

This is a super cool build; I love minimalist aesthetics! I think this and the stalactite are my favorites lol You should totally do more projects like this

[@geoff3610]

I love how your videos are useful, like you could follow along and actually DIY for the most part.

[@TriFekt]

I just like the idea that someone gives this guy a gift or something for Christmas and he's staring at the container like. "Man....I can probably make a terrarium out of this." 😂

[@GodisTruth914]

Of course we have to watch all the way to the end! Gotta see the finished look!

[@livingmybestlife8641]

You need some little stones for the sand tray.

[@brandisdreamland]

I loved the whole piece no complaints it’s really good for someone who works in the office and needs a mental break i think it’s perfect

[@parmerapps69]

Hi Serpa! Another awesome vid! Funny thing is, I was just looking through your videos lately and did notice that it had been a while since you've done a terrarium build! Glad you're back at it. Quick question: You got me into terrariums this last year, and since then, I've been hooked. I followed your video on moss propagation for my first one. It's been great, and I've been able to find around ten different species to add. However, after a couple of months, mold started to appear. At first I just dunked the moss in a hydrogen peroxide + water mixture, which worked pretty well. It kept coming back though, so I added springtails. While I'm sure the springtails have been helpful, the mold remains. I can't use my old hydrogen peroxide mixture, because I read that it kills the springtails. I have the terrarium under this grow light for 10 hours a day. The moss is looking great, but the mold sort of ruins the aesthetic. Do you ever have similar problems with your setups? If so, what would you do about it in my case?

[@SerpaDesign]

It can happen sometimes due to lack of airflow. If you can install a small fan on the side to keep the air moving, it should stop occurring. Something tiny like these should work. www.amzn.com/B08948MT6F/ EDIT get the 5V USB one.

[@parmerapps69]

@@SerpaDesign Thank you so much! I'll definitely have to try those out. Just want to let you know how much of an impact you're having! Rooting you on to 1mil subscribers!

[@parmerapps69]

Oh, and I'd say my favorite was the one on the right. I love the black lava rock look. 😄

[@Lazy_Fish_Keeper]

@@parmerapps69 I found that too much light contributed to the problem as well. Over a year later, no more mold or algea, after switching my moss to live under my Dr Walstad inspired rack w/ shop lights (timer is on at 8:30 am, off at 1 pm, back on at 5 pm, off at 10 pm) Aquariums no longer grow algae, either.

[@NO.OFFENSE]

Yes thank you soooooo much for this video,I am finding mother nature waste and keep wanting to do more in my down sounds daft but I get my recharge from helping nature then people that try and help themselves. Blessed Be. Hope all goes well in future you help so many species of life from land to air 🤗🤗. Keep up with the awesome creativity and work.

[@KopiGamer123]

16:10 - 16:18 There’s a little spider on the spagnum moss 🕷

[@marjoryskousen3488]

Just when I think your last build was your best, you go and outdo yourself again! You are so talented.

[@jasminvasquez6972]

Sooo what happened to the spider????

[@mianunya7607]

👀

[@YochevedDesigns]

This is one of my favorite simple projects! The glass marbles on top are genius. They look like they've always been there.

[@IttyBitty412]

This is my favorite thing in the internet I would have never thought of any of this and the clear marbles!!! That was genius!!!

[@dm5129]

I could watch these videos forever, relaxing, interesting, always learning how much fun it is to create things, without hurrying into the store right away to buy them. Just love the Zen Garden tools

[@secretsquirrel4773]

I think all that you do is great! More space in garden is always a better garden.

[@michelehood8837]

Very cute and very zen! A little Buddha for the sand garden would be adorable, too ☯️

[@chinnowah]

I think it's really beautiful and you don't need much space for it to make it a wonderful deco piece. I like the middle one best too as it reminds me of the German coasts with its sand and the sticks pointing upwards for the preservation of the sand and the plants from the wind. 😊👏

[@kiki29073]

I love this little build. If I had the creativity and the patience I would have all kinds of these little terrariums all over my house also.

[@jc13781]

I would never have the patience for the tedious placement of all the tiny plants and rocks. Mad respect!!!!!

[@gloriajenkins4478]

Your creations are so inspiring, with each video I learn so much about improving my terrariums designs. Zen Garden was a first for me, but I love it.

[@amandadavalos]

By far my favorite terrarium yet! I think the first one is my favorite!

[@irvagirl]

I really love the one on the far left. The whole piece is amazing tho.

[@jilsurihernandez1050]

YOURE LITERALLY ONE OF THE O LY KZbinRS I WATCH. Thank you for the videos your work amazes me every time ❤❤

[@cathylavorante6871]

I think it’s beautiful! Everyone needs one. I can’t even tell you I was so chill just watching you make it. I enjoyed it very much!

[@nackattack9038]

This is my favortie small build you've done! I agree a little bigger on the zen garden, if you could modify the platform for the terrarium to allow better access to the sand would be nice too. Everything about this build I love, especially the custom tools and wooden frame. It brought it all together nicely, very well done!

[@juliawhitmore3991]

Absolutely my favorite build of yours so far!! The three little worlds, the zen garden below, the handmade tools... Just makes me want to jump into the screen and live among the moss!

[@voodoopup4376]

Never knew I wanted this as a hobby until just now.

[@jojojosi8993]

looks beautiful, i like the calm way you explain and show how you create your visions

[@realangiechrist]

Really incredible how much those marbles add to the design. Wouldn't be nearly as cute without those!

[@ernestmatthews9867]

the one on the left is my favorite personally and I do love this theme of design.

[@Linda-sw8sk]

It was so peaceful watching you create this Zen piece, if not for your voice I would have believed you were a Chinese master in his workshop. Thank you

[@Aliciahalie]

The way you didn’t react to hot glue on your fingers blew my mind. Dedication!

[@SerpaDesign]

Lol I have chef hands 😂

[@Aliciahalie]

@@SerpaDesign it looked beautiful in the end. Every aspect was organic looking and personalized as always. 👍

[@roshnichoudhary705]

This guy drives me crazy with the level of hie creativity. I wanna meet him in person and compliment him for his dexterity and excellent aesthetic imagination

[@robinlandry518]

This is absolutely the best moss terrarium i have seen

[@Jon62491]

I love this concept so much and I think it turned it great. I like that they are all distinct and unique yet all connected. Something similar on a larger scale would be awesome to see.

[@teodorasimic1336]

The left one is definitely my favourite, but I love them all!

[@TheSwiftCreek2]

I like it! My favorite is the one on the left. While there isn't a lot of room to play in the sand I think the dimensions of the bottom are a good match for the top.

[@milangans3771]

Love it! Such a creative idea. I like them all, but if i had to pick a favorite, it would be the one on the left.

[@tangiecalloway6572]

I would buy this in heartbeat! Its so wonderfully made with much detail indeed.

[@cayteowands]

Love all 3 & the larger piece as a whole✨ I'd definitely go bigger on the sand tray, it's more an implication of a zen garden like this. The tools are perfect, the feel is utterly Zen.

[@nightdreamer2315]

the one with the wood on the end was my favorite one~ this is so beautiful!!!

[@laurabloom8745]

That tiny rake and plow is EVERYTHING to me

[@savisiren1366]

The marbles are clever. All the terrariums look great

[@joebob8457]

This is easily one of the best terrariums you’ve made so far. The zen garden is a really neat feature. I also think the mix of three different environments is very cool. Keep up the good work man!

[@Aquafinity]

It is very cool! Especially at the end! Serpa design inspired me to make a fishkeeping channel!

[@aydenhill6418]

Beauty through imperfection. Love the use of material. KEEP IT UP TANNER!

[@MrDJsArcade]

The middle one might be the coolest but the contrast of them all is awesome.

[@philcarlino6942]

Your creativity knows no bounds. I stayed til the end as I always do with your work. Thank you!

[@tracybowling97]

I love the Chinese feel of the project. It's so cute!

[@jennifercrum-flint599]

I love this design, the clean marbles really make it. The sand tray is a wonderful idea. My youngest daughter Sophia and I just found your channel and watch a few videos a day, we look forward to your new videos on Saturdays. Sophia's favorite is also the middle one, she said it reminds her of a mountain bike trail that we ride on.

[@eirenieve]

I like using moss, coffee, teas, onion skins, and berries to make natural wood stains. I like to stain the wood pieces before gluing or nailing them together. This project of yours is super amazing and quite inspiring. Thank you!
