I made this terrarium for myself and enjoyed it so much I decided to do one for my son and Debbie. However my middle daughter Kim came over the weekend and wanted me to make her one with a purple African violet and I could not find another so this terrarium ended up in her house 
That’s how mommy’s are you know.
This is David’s and the turtle that I got at Hobby Lobby for $2.00 on sale jsut makes this my favorite. He does have a pose David is familiar with
And this pink African violet is Deb’s. She is hopefully going to find that forgetting to water for a couple of weeks won’t be too big a problem with a terrarium. I put a small piece of fern in hers as I love ferns in terrariums. Her’s also has a small piece of mirror in the center, to look like a lake, that was impossible to get a good photo of.
This ended up being mine. I love violets of any color but thought this soft lavender was perfect with the begonia I used.
Easy to do and lots of fun to make, terrariums can be expensive or on a budget, however if you make four you will blow the budget . I hope you enjoyed my creativity with terrariums and will give it a try for your home.
Very awesome!
I am looking for just the right container for Mikey to use to make one for me.
Now, I can show him this post too so he can get more ideas.

I look forward to seeing what Mikey puts together. Home Goods is the cheapest place to buy containers that I could find and they have a pretty good choice.
Good to hear from you I must get to Hospitality Lane soon.
Well now there is a great reason to come down to see you, so that you can take me to Home Goods. That would be a fun thing for all of us girls to do together, don’t you think, and you could help us decide what to use. Where did you get the african violets. I love them but I never could get them to bloom that much for me. Would they bloom better in a terrairium. I just love this idea.
Beautiful terrarium!

Love the use of the violets for color. We haven’t thought of that one,but I will try in the future. Do you think with a violet it has to be open topped? Wonder if violets are sort of like a succulent and would rot? Check out some of our inspiration if you have time
