DIY Succulent Sand Art Terrariums

I used a set of 3 glass jars and colored sand from Oriental Trading for this project. These jars are so versatile – I have also used them to make these cute candy terrariums for Easter.

The faux succulents I found at Hobby Lobby could totally pass as the real deal and don’t require watering. Score!

Supplies for Succulent Sand Art Terrariums

• Glass apothecary jars
• Colored sand (I used coral, mint, turquoise, gold, and white)
• Faux succulents or air plants
• Wire cutters (not shown)

How to Make Succulent Sand Art Terrariums

1. Pour the sand into the jar, adding a layer at a time. You can pour it against the side of the jar to vary the height of the sand. I filled each of my jars about 3/4 full with 4-5 layers of sand but you can make a bunch of thin layers as well for a more intricate design!

2. Cut the succulents from their stems using a wire cutter and insert into the top of the sand.

These look pretty from all angles! You may want to keep the tops off the jars to really show off the succulents.
