Terrariums

We are so close to 10,000 supporters! To celebrate, I have made one final update to this project. I've created three different cacti plants that provide more options for customization. They are each unique in their own way, using different colors, pieces, and building techniques.

Thank you so much for 5k supporters! This really means a lot to me, and I hope we can make it to 10k within the next few months. To celebrate, I'm posting this customization update.

This update is meant to showcase an alternate concept for my project. It goes a slightly different way and focuses more on customizing the largest terrarium.

In this concept, the build would only include the largest terrarium and not the two smaller ones. However, it would be much easier to customize and include a plethora of plants, as well as loose studs for dirt and gravel. The images below display how the customization process would work.

1. This step is pretty straightforward, you're just building the base of the jar.

2. In this step, you choose and arrange your plants. You will be provided with a wide variety of succulents, mushrooms, and even rocks. It includes every plant from my original design, plus some extras. They are built on top of brown supports that connect them to the base of the jar. You can arrange them however you like!

3. Next, you will fill the base of the jar with dirt and gravel. You can decide whether to layer it or mix it all together. You can even omit certain colors if you'd like. There are three shades of brown pieces for dirt and two shades of gray pieces for gravel included.

4. Once you're happy with the layout of the terrarium, you will build up the rest of the jar.

5. Finally, you will build and add the cork to the top of the jar. I've tweaked the original design of the jar so the cork is now removable and fits snugly inside.

And that's it! You can customize it any way you want, and easily change it up if you feel like it. These are just a few versions I've done to demonstrate. Also, Here is a short video that shows the process more smoothly:

That's all for now. Let me know in the comments which version you prefer more, this one, the original, or maybe even a combination of the two. I'd love to hear your feedback! And again, thanks for 5k!

I have decided to make a fourth terrarium concept for my project! For this one, I went a slightly different way with the plants, and used mushrooms and a rock instead of succulents. The jar rests on its side and also has a removable cork. 

I also want to say thank you for all the support this project has been getting. I never expected it to get this far in such a short amount of time, I appreciate each and every supporter that has helped it grow. I also plan to post another update at 5,000 supports involving customization options.
