Terrarium In A Lightbulb

I have seen a few small Terrarium in jars and lightbulbs before and decided to have a go at making on one myself.

I couldn't find any clear bulbs but I had seen online how you can remove the opacity layer inside the bulbs with sald.

I also created a small tool to aid getting the plants into the bulb.



Materials


  • Lightbulb (clear or pearl)
  • Salt
  • Potting compost
  • Gravel
  • Moss
  • Skewer or craft paintbrush
  • Plastic drinks bottle cap


Tools


  • Dremel or Hacksaw
  • Glue (2 part quick set epoxy)
  • Drill
  • Pliers
  • Scissors
