Gnome Homes

Came across these adorable little terrariums on etsy, from the seller "GnomeHomes".  I absolutely love them. You can find tutorials online to help you create your own. 

Basically, you need a glass container, with a tight fitting lid, small gravel, charcoal, soil and moss.  Then you can make your own mushrooms, gnome doors, rabbits, etc. with polymer clay.  The terrariums are VERY low maintenance, requiring only a light misting of water every few weeks.  


I am so making some of these.  Fun thing for the kids to help with as well!

You know it would only be a matter of time before the inside ant farm became an all over the house ant farm.
