How to Make Halloween Terrariums (page 1 of 2)

This Halloween, decorate your windowsill with spooky terrarium jars. This easy project is inexpensive and perfect to make with the kids.

By Joanne Palmisano, Salvage SecretsMore in Decorating

We filled recycled glass jars with spiders, cotton ghosts, moss and branches to make Halloween terrariums. This is a great project to make with kids; they can fill their jars with a variety of scary trinkets and toys. Depending on the age of the children, you may want to use regular craft glue instead of the hot glue gun.
