Terrariums are a great way to bring a little piece of outside into your home. Perfect for desks, side tables, and decorating your window sills, these little slices of nature can transform your decor from drab and lifeless to warm and natural.

But let's face it, buying terrariums can be expensive.

Anyone who's been browsing through the plant section of the store has probably fallen in love with an adorable terrarium until they see the price tag. This is especially true for terrariums that are big and intricate.

There's so much you can put in a terrarium besides just plants, too. From seashells and ceramic animals to stones, gnomes, and more, the possibilities for your terrariums are only limited by your imagination.
