Sunday Funday: DIY Terrariums


     If you've ever been to  the Rose Bowl flea market in Pasadena, you know what amazing treasures are waiting to be found. Today Whitney and I roamed the vendor filled parking lot with hundreds of other treasure seekers looking for glassware to re-purpose for our afternoon craft project: succulent filled terrariums. Whitney chose a clear glass globe lamp and two hand-painted rocks glasses, and I chose a hurricane vase and centerpiece bowl. We were lucky enough to come across a vendor who had a variety of colorful mini succulents for $1.00 each.

     We filled each terrarium with cactus soil and stone/sea glass to ensure proper drainage.

       The cherry on top of our craft day was certainly the housemade gelato/sorbetto at Pazzo Gelato.
      Until next time...
