Last week, we met up with the team behind MicroForests, a social enterprise that provides meaningful work to single mothers of low-income households in Sham Shui Po. They create the most adorable Japanese-inspired terrariums for homes or offices, and we just thought how these would make loveliest and most practical table centerpieces! Take them home or give them out as gifts, these are wedding decor elements that will not go to waste. The MicroForests team was more than happy to share with us a simple D.I.Y. terrarium, so get ready for this fun project!
Here’s what you’ll need:
- Geometric terrarium vases and a variety of potted succulents
- Decorative stones, activated charcoals and mineral pebbles, mini shovel and rake, tongs and a small brush
Instructions:
1. Using the mini shovel, fill up half of the base of your terrarium pot with mineral pebbles.
2. Then cover the other half with activated charcoal.
3. Gently remove your main succulent from its pot and place it in the centre of your terrarium.
4. Use your tongs to hold up the succulent while adding more pebbles and charcoal underneath to secure the plant in place.
