This simple and cute craft idea has been popping up all over the place lately. It's a fun little craft project you can put together with items you have around your house, as well as a few random Halloween decorations. Use leftover glass jars with lids to create small Samhain terrariums. You’ll need:
- Glass jars with lids (baby food jars are great!)
- Black spray paint
- Hot glue
- Spanish moss or dried grass
- Twigs
- Assorted small Halloween decor - ghosts, skulls, headstones, spiders, etc.
Make sure your glass jars are clean on the inside - wash and dry them before you start this project.
Use the black spray paint to paint the lids on the inside and outside. While you don't absolutely have to do this step, it does make the final result look a little bit spookier.
Glue some Spanish moss or dried grass to the inside of the lid. Make sure you don't go all the way to the edges of the lid, or you won't be able to put the jar in place. Add dried twigs to resemble trees, spider webbing, ghosts, headstones, and more.
Put the jar on top of the lid to form the dome of the terrarium.
