How to: Make a Super Easy DIY Terrarium Ready for Fall!

I'm trying to find ways to decorate my home seasonally without having to store more decor away for the year or reorganize an entire room for one holiday! As a busy mom, I'm finding less time to devote myself to redecorating the entire house. As much as I love it, it's nice to have a few pieces that can stay out year round and maybe save me a bit more time. A terrarium is the perfect solution to this problem!

Materials

    Fish Tank (we thrifted ours for $5)
    Moss in different variaties
    Decor items
    Plants (optional)

 Instructions

1. Give your fish tank a good cleaning. I used dish soap, as well as window cleaner.

2. For an everyday look, you can choose to go with a plant terrarium . Begin by placing plants in your terrarium - some may peek out above the top, but that's ok.  

3. Build up your layers of moss. You can choose to do one variety at a time or mix them together throughout. I built up the moss layers to hide the plastic plant pots to make it look like the plants were growing up and out of the moss itself.

 I love the pop of green it adds to the space - it's fresh and modern.

4. For a fall look, you may choose to add brass and rustic wood finishes, like driftwood.

5. For a seasonal look, such as Halloween, keep it simple by adding 2-3 traditional or eclectic pieces. Oddly enough this skull with a crow and ceramic hand can be placed on a shelving unit individually year round. But placed together, you instantly have a spooky vibe.

This is such an easy DIY and it's a lot of fun to play around with month to month and season to season. I can't wait to experiment with it for Christmas. I'm thinking battery operated string lights will look so pretty hidden throughout the moss with some white and bright accents!

BLACKPINK hits No. 1 on Billboard Artist 100

BLACKPINK has topped the Billboard Artist 100 that ranks pop stars in terms of their influence, becoming the third K-pop group to lead the chart following BTS and SuperM. BTS ranks at No. 2 on the same chart. BLACKPINK surged from No. 65 to No.1 on the Billboard Artist 100 thanks to the group’s debut full-length “The Album,” according to Billboard on Sunday.

 

The chart, which dates back to 2014, combines performance across single and album charts and social media. This is the first time an all-female group to become the top musical act. Billboard said, “K-pop acts have monopolized the chart’s top two positions” with BLACKPINK and BTS claiming the top two. BTS ruled the chart for 10 weeks since September 29. BLACKPINK landed a couple of songs on the Billboard Hot 100 on Monday with its title song “Lovesick Girls” ranking at No. 59 and “Ice Cream” with Selena Gomez at No. 64.
