Glass Menagerie
Create a wonderful forest miniature complete with furry little friends
By Melissa Carter
Display your forest finds in a terrarium kingdom that can grow and change with the seasons. Children will love building with burrs (wrapping them around a twig is an easy way to make a lollipop tree).
The Materials
- Soil
- Sheet moss
- Pinecones, burrs, acorns and more
- A maidenhair fern
- Rosehips
The How To
Cover a layer of soil with sheet moss and your favourite finds from the forest floor; dig plants into the bottom. Form the frolicking fauna and by curling pipe cleaner around your finger; add beads for noses and eyes. Tuck pointy pipe cleaner faces into horse chestnut husks to create hedgehogs.
