DIY Summer Moss Terrarium

Let's Bottle The Summer
 & Keep a Jar of it on-hand all year long!

This is a super fun summer project for Adults or Kids of ANY age, & like most of the project I share will involve a walk in the forest!
Step #1 . - Forage for supplies. Some of the staples you will want to be sure you grab are:
~ Moss (as many varieties as you can find)
~ Rocks / Sand
~ Soil
~ A Glass Jar with a seal -able lid.
& Then be sure to grab anything else that catches your eye or imagination. I also included a crystal rock in mine for a little added sparkle / fairy curb-appeal. 

Step #2 .  Begin Layering your foraged supplies! Be sure to layer some rocks / sand into the very bottom {to hold any extra moisture} Followed by soil, moss and layering in any other grasses or plant life you wish to add being careful to place it into the soil
Step #3
. Give it it's first misting of water and then seal you Jar of Summer shut!
I have also attached an image below from Moss Love Terrarium that gives great instruction & tips for how to properly care for your moss terrarium! 

It's seriously that easy! I think this would make a great end of Summer project to do with the kiddos before they head back to school in just a few short weeks OR for anyone who wants to be sure to soak up every last minute of summer while it's still here!
