How I started making terrariums
I had been retired for a few years and was looking for a way to use my time more constructively.
The opportunity came when I dismantled a old greenhouse which needed to go to the tip.
Some of the glass seemed too good to take to the tip so I kept it.
I was looking for a terrarium as a present at a local garden centre, I could not find anything suitable, they were all jars of one sort or another. The ones I did find, a house shaped one was expensive and rubbish.
I thought about the glass behind the shed and had a go at making one. They turned out quite well. After a while I was asked by friends and neighbours If I could make one for them.
After a while I started to sell on etsy to cover the cost of everything needed.
Desided to try folksy as it is for the uk crafters instead

Full description
For feedback on my work type in Terrariumsforplants on the etsy platform, lots of feedback, which I hope will encourage buyers on folksy.
Height 23 cm tall
Just over 13 cm wide with top on
About 32 cm long with top on
P.S. These are not made to hold water
This is a closed terrarium it is not meant to be air tight.
The top can be removed completely for easy access, Rests quite easily on top of the base. The mug is to give an idea of size.
Be aware that these are made using recycled glass, So will have some scratches and marks on the glass due to past use. Using weathered glass, some glass will also have a blue mottled look which can't be removed. I try not to use this glass if any marks are too prominent. I keep the use of this glass for the base if I can. As a one off design, these well may also include minor imperfections. On saying all this I wouldn't be selling unless I was happy with the finished result.
