DIY: Terrarium Roundup

Kiwi Terrarium by Botany Factory

I've been fawning over terrariums for the last year now. Apparently they're making a comeback, says the New York Times. I'm especially in love with succulents (mostly because they're the only thing I've successfully kept alive) and the beautiful arrangements that come out of them, whether in a living wall or tucked inside a glass jar.  It's high time I made my own terrarium, but I am still looking for the right sized glass jar from a thrift shop, and I thought doing a roundup of DIY terrariums would get me inspired. Besides, I just killed another plant and I need a replacement.
