Home Terrarium {Solar-Powered}

We love when a DIY project just kind of pops onto our laps. This Solar Terrarium was just that way. We were working on a succulent planter that was really flopping and suddenly came up with this project as a Plan B, and we sure love it!

 

 

Did you see this great project on Pinterest from The Shabby Creek Cottage?  I saw it earlier in the week and was so glad I did. It inspired me to grab a few solar lights at Lowes.

 

 

Inspired to get creative with the solar lights, we first took the light apart to figure it out.

 

 

I had picked up this lantern at Lowe’s a while back and it was perfect to let sunlight shine through the top. They come in black and silver.

 

 

We used Scotch double sided mounting tape because we needed it to really stick to the top of the lantern.  This is intended for heavy mounting, so it did the trick!

 

 

All that was left was adding stones and a succulent plant. We even kept the succulent in it’s plastic planter. It’s really that simple! (And what’s a blog post from us without a sweet cheesy picture?)

 

 

We dimmed the lights and voila!
