Succulent Terrarium Tutorial Inexpensive Gift, Home or Coffee Shop Decor

My daughter has been wanting to make a succulent terrarium, but she has very limited space in her bedroom.

She’s been on the lookout for a cute small size container, and I found the perfect one!

I was in a thrift store a few days ago and spotted the most adorable single serving coffee pot.

She loves coffee with a passion, so I knew this would make the perfect container for a mini succulent terrarium.

I made a video, so you can see how quick and easy it is, and included my short supply list and instructions below.

I hope you like it, and I hope she will too!

How to Make a Succulent Terrarium in a Thrift Store Find

Supplies Needed: (affiliates included for your convenience)

• Glass containers (coffee pots and glass jars with lids both work great)
• Assorted succulents (this is a great price for 20 with free shipping)
• Play sand
• Cactus potting soil
• Small decorative pebbles
• moss, if desired

How to Assemble Terrarium: (view video below)

• Remove succulents from the pots they came in and gently shake excess soil off the roots.
• Create a base layer of sand to help with drainage.
• Add a layer of cactus potting soil.
• Place succulents in container and secure with soil around them.
• Add a top layer of stones or moss.

This is one of those rare, awesome projects that only takes about 5 minutes to make.

This would be wonderful to gift for a coffee drinker.  Just add a gift card or some fresh ground coffee and they’ll love it!

If you use a regular size coffee pot, you can use larger succulents, but I had to use really tiny ones.

It’s like a fairy size succulent terrarium! 🙂

So, what do you think of the adorable little coffee pot now?  I’m not even a coffee drinker, and I love it!
