Guest Picks: More Ideas for Artful Terrariums

Because Part 1 was so popular, I decided to tack on another ideabook about creating an artful terrarium. Here you’ll find more stunning vessels for display, as well as ideas for what to place inside your terrarium. Start small, and as you gain confidence in caring for your plants, expand your terrarium prowess throughout your living spaces. You will be delighted with your creations and enjoy them every day! — Stephanie from Stephmodo

This is just one example of a homemade terrarium I gifted a friend last year.


Seville Glass Terrarium - $60 Finding the perfect vessel for a terrarium is half the project. This fantastic bottle with an orb top is extra special.


Faceted Terrariums - $29 These faceted terrariums are smaller, but the effect is no less stunning. Set one atop a shelf next to a stack of books or group three together on a coffee table.


Tilt Large Bowl - $49.95 This is a simple, reasonably priced terrarium vessel. Just make sure you don’t have little hands at home, as this piece is not as kid friendly as others.


Brass Base Terrarium - $29 A beautiful statement, this glass vessel sits atop a solid, perfectly brushed metal stand. I see this particular piece settling in nicely in a more traditional space.


Glass Jar, Green - $49 Changing up the glass color is one fun way to diversify your terrariums at home. Keep your wall color in mind when choosing whether clear or colored glass is right for your space.


Glass and Wood Ball Cap Type 5 Bottle - $46 One of my all-time-favorite terrarium vessels, this special piece from Roost can be tough to find and is certainly more of an investment piece. However, you will never tire of it or its gorgeous wooden orb on top.


Tin Cap Terrarium - $98 The brushed-metal tops are gorgeous and modern, and these jars make for fantastic terrarium vessels. They’re definite favorites of mine.


Found Glass Pickling Jar - $139 This is another excellent starter terrarium that would fit nicely into traditional and modern farmhouse-style homes.


Sea Glass Shards by Sea Zephyr - $8 Pretty, green, effervescent sea glass adds a certain luster if used in layers with soil or sand.


Seaside Sand - $5.95 I prefer to use white reptile sand from Petco for my desert terrarium projects. But this more crystallized version is very pretty (and sparkly!) too.


Driftwood From the Missouri Ozarks’ Osage River by Troy’s Treasure Trove - $23 If you live near a beach, go pick up your own small pieces of driftwood for your terrarium project. If you don’t, you can purchase a set like this online! Who knew?


Diamond Hooks, Set of 3, Smoked Oak - $75 For modern, minimalist terrariums, a nice object can be pretty resting atop the soil or sand. Buy on Houzz


Porcelain House, Small - GBP 6.50 Here’s a miniature white porcelain house to tuck inside your terrarium for a little added whimsy.


Porcelain Woodland Mushroom Ornament by Elizabeth Benotti - $20 A sweet miniature porcelain toadstool would be a delightful addition to any terrarium. Simply cut off the string and tuck it into the soil or sand.


Nickel Plant Mister - $20 Make caring for your terrarium easy with this beautiful metal mister.


Live Tabletop Air Plant Garden - $34.50 Here is a simple terrarium incorporating a small air plant, some seashells and moss. A project like this is very easy to create and can be hung as well.


Bridge Terrarium Absolutely exquisite in detail, complexity and composition, this Paula Hayes terrarium can serve as the perfect inspiration for your own make-at-home versions.


Hermit’s Hut Air Plant Terrarium - $38.50 A very special mix of moss, lichen, air plants, driftwood and small ferns went into this true masterpiece from Seattle’s one-stop terrarium shop, Midnight Blossom.
