suddenly, succulents have totally taken over the hearts and minds and probably pinched a few fingers of DIY doers. From one day to the next, I couldn't like without a little scape of terrariums for my porch and the miami nice office.

there's not really much to making one of these potted little pretties. 

Fish bowls

were thrifted from

Flamingo

for less than three bucks each.

Succulents and cacti

came from Ikea at $2.50 each and they had a huge assortment of all kinds. 

Those little

tea lights and votives

were lying around just waiting for a little craft to call their name but if you don't have any laying around you can grab some for really cheap at a Target near you. 

I've read that you should fill the bottom of the bowl with rocks or pebbles for the water, but I couldn't wait that long so I just threw the dirt into the vase and used tweezers to move around the plants, hide the stems, and the bottom of the votives to pack in the dirt. 

And voila. Dassss iittttt.
