Beach Terrarium

"Capture relaxation in a jar with this simple DIY beach terrarium idea using beach finds and a repurposed glass jar. Additionally, repurposing glass jars into pretty and useful decor is another crafting obsession. Instead of sending jars to the curb to be recycled, be sure to hold on to them for craft purposes. We used some pieces of uniquely shaped driftwood that loosely resembled coral for the center of the jar. Alternatively, you can purchase decorative coral which would also look really amazing inside the jar. "
