How to Put Together a Tropical Terrarium with Fairy Flair

Last spring I put together a fairy lantern for my downstairs patio. I loved it so much that I decided to do a second one to keep indoors this year. But since summer’s on its way, I know I will be spending most of my time outdoors. With that in mind, I needed something that will not require a lot of attention.

I had a terrarium that sits empty at the moment and thought it would be the perfect home for some cute little fairies I found in a craft bin. My last terrarium was in a large bottle that a good friend had fallen in love with. I gave it to her as a housewarming gift and I never replaced it. But… today is the day so I thought I would share with you how to put together a tropical terrarium with a little bit of fairy flair!

DIY Spring Candle Ring in 3 Easy Steps

Spring! Even the word makes me smile! When I think of spring, the first thing that comes to mind is the color green. Just knowing there is green grass under the thatch that has formed all winter long is so exciting. Seeing the tiny buds that will soon be leaves on the trees and the green stems popping up from the snow is exhilarating.

Valentine’s Day Printables/DIY Projects

With February right around the corner, I’m thinking about the Valentine’s Day holiday. I have never done much decorating for the day itself. It’s not that I don’t like it… I do! It’s just the timing. This time of year, having just packed away Christmas and with my winter decor completed, I’m never in the mood to change things so soon. But this year, it just feels right! I mean, who couldn’t use more love in their life right now??? I think we all could so that is my focus this week. As always, I will start with some Valentine’s Day printables.

Quick and Easy Fall Door Decoration

With the weather being gorgeous these days, I like to leave my back door open. But…that creates a problem! My kitchen is decked out with all things fall and with the door closed, my pretty fall calendar completes the look. With it open, it looks bare in an otherwise fall oasis. Can’t have that! I needed a quick and easy fall door decoration.

DIY Halloween Wreath

Ok…I am starting a bit early with the Halloween stuff! I have not even planned my fall decorating yet! The problem is I have been trying to make a Halloween wreath for my daughter for years. I get so swept up in all things fall that by the time I remember Halloween is coming, it’s too late. So this year, I’m on top of things! I decided to do a DIY Halloween Wreath post while I am putting hers together.

DIY -Fairy Patio Lantern – Miniature Fairy Garden

Ok! You’re right! It is too early to put plants and flowers outside in Colorado. I always adhere to the Mother’s Day rule. But this year, it is just so much harder! The weather is beautiful this week and we are spending a lot of time outside. The grass is turning green and the lilacs are beginning to bud. The patio is normally full of plants and flowers. But it really is too early! So I decided to make a Spring Patio Lantern that I can simply carry inside if the weather turns.
