Just like its name suggests, we could be as crafty as we wanted at this DIY terrarium shop.
Be Crafty, located at LTC building in Macpherson, allows you to customise your own terrarium. In addition to closed glass jar terrariums, you can even choose to decorate a small pot of plant, which is what we did.
Was it a fun date idea?
This was so much fun as we had to full flexibility to design the terrarium or potted plant however we wanted. We could choose the pots, the plants, and over 100 adorable charms and decors to be added on.
In comparison, terrarium workshops tend to be more rigid, with somewhat of a fixed designed planned beforehand.
How much did we spend?
We ended up spending $25-30 for our DIY terrarium and potted plant.
How we made our terrarium
Designing our own terrarium was super easy. Depending on how fussy you are with the design, you can take anywhere from five minutes to an hour.
But to be fair, we took about 30 minutes because of how many charms there were to go through.
1. Pick the base – plant pot
To start, choose your pot. You can either opt for ceramic pots, ranging from classic designs to funkier ones, or a glass jar for your terrarium.
Prices range from $5 to $40.
2. Choose your plant or succulent
Next, choose your pick — plants or succulents?
If you’re wondering which is better, ask yourself how good you are at taking care of plants. Contrary to popular beliefs, succulents are actually tricker to take care of as they are more sensitive to water intake.
That’s why we chose leafy plants.
3. Choosing your toppers
This was our favourite part!
We spent so long choosing from over 100 miniature toppers. Beyond basic designs like benches, trees and chalkboards, you can even find adorable characters like Totoro, Minions, and Pokemon, as well as delicious miniature foods like Oreo, Starbucks and popcorn.
The best part is how affordable they are! Most of the decorations costs $1-2 only, so it’s really easy to overdo your terrarium.
4. Get your items ready
Place all your items in the basket and hand it to the staff to fix it for you. If you wish to personally DIY the terrarium for a fun experience, feel free to do it too!
