A terrarium in a light bulb is a cool idea for those who love plants and original decor rooms. In addition, you can conduct a scientific biological experiment by observing an artificially created ecosystem. The moss will not need to be watered or cared for at all. And most importantly, it will take less than 20 minutes of your time to create, which you can spend with your child.

You will need:

In order to create such a small terrarium, you will need:

- moss;
- sand and/or earth;
- bulb;
- cork;
- tweezers;
- small pebbles and one large one for the base;
- pliers;
- hot glue.

Making a terrarium in an incandescent lamp bulb

First, let's go into the forest in search of moss and pebbles. For the terrarium we will need tree moss. We find a couple of “bushes” and take them with us.

Then we look for suitable small pebbles to fill the light bulb and one large one for the base. For example, these kids and one larger stone will do.

With these finds we can finally go home.

Now you need to work on the light bulb.You need to break off the base and pull out all the contents from the inside using pliers (be careful with glass!).

We attach the light bulb itself to a large stone with hot glue.

Now filling the future terrarium will be much more convenient.

Let's move on to the most important part - decorating the terrarium. First, place small pebbles on the bottom using tweezers.

You need to pour earth on top of them. A hand-made watering can will help you with this.

Finally, you can start laying out the moss and pebbles.

This is what we got as a result.

Everything is almost ready, only a couple of touches remain. To prevent fungus from getting inside and the plants from drying out, you need to seal the light bulb. An ordinary traffic jam will help us with this. We cut it and sand it with sandpaper so that it can easily close the hole in our terrarium.
