Repurposing a Leaky Lemonade Jar into a Homemade Terrarium
We have a really pretty lemonade jar; the only problem is, it leaks. I have tried a few different things to deal with the leak, but eventually, it ended up stored hidden away in the cupboard and unused. Rather than discard it, I decided this afternoon to make it into a homemade terrarium.

Here are the photos of making it…

What a great idea and would make a lovely present.
I have gotten lots of compliments on it from visitors to the house. I might have to keep my eyes peeled for similar items at yard sales. Maybe something like this would make a nice gift. Thanks for the idea.
Beautiful! I’ve been thinking about terrariums lately…what a great way to repurpose that pretty jar!
