How to make your own LEGO® terrarium
Looking for a fun craft project? There are millions of things you can make with LEGO® bricks and today we'll show you how to build a LEGO terrarium.
Why? Because terrariums are great!
These small gardens in glass containers make beautiful displays for your home. Plus, they're a great way to bring nature into your home.
How do you do this with LEGO bricks?
We promise it's easier than terrarium games.
These sets are inspired by the amazing plant creations from the LEGO Botanicals collection. It is therefore logical to use these sets as a starting point. So you don't have to be a seasoned gardener to get started.
Use your creativity and put the flowers outside. Or inside, in this case.
Step 1: Choose the right enclosure

You need a plan for every creative project.
Finding the right housing is important. You can approach this in two ways:
1) First choose a clear container and design your LEGO brick creation around it to make sure everything fits.
2) Do you already have an idea? Then look for a container large enough to accommodate your dream creation. You can always adjust your structure if necessary.
When choosing an enclosure, consider whether it should be large, small or medium. Whether it's an old fishbowl, a transparent Christmas bauble or a vase, your LEGO display needs a good place.
Tip: Don't forget to measure. Does the LEGO construction fit in the container?
Step 2: Make it unique!

Now that you've found an enclosure, you need to choose what to put in it.
This is your chance to get creative! Choose a terrarium design that shows your interests. For example, choose the space , cars , movies, art, music, to travel, gaming or something else.
The color palette of your design should also match its surroundings, so think carefully about where you place it.
Tip: Upcycle if possible! If you already have materials and LEGO sets at home, you can use them and be inspired by them...
Step 3: Fill with 'soil'

The most satisfying part! Fill the bottom of your container with small LEGO elements to serve as LEGO soil. Make sure the base is flat so that your structure can sit flat and firmly on the ground.
Tip: Consider using colors for the base of rocks that match the rest of your terrarium.
Step 4: Be creative with plant elements

The power of plants! Using plant elements and LEGO flowers will bring your terrarium to life. The LEGO Botanicals collection has many flora in different colors and sizes to choose from.
From succulents, stems and dried flowers to colorful bouquets and roses, whatever you're looking for, you can probably find a LEGO version
Step 4.5 (optional): Add minifigures

Minifigures not only make your display more fun, but they also help tell a story.
They look extra cute in small balls for occasions like Easter, Christmas and Halloween.
Tip: Where possible, attach small details such as minifigures to the structure before placing it in the container. It can be difficult to click things together in the bowl (unless you have small minifigure hands).
Step 5: Put it down

And that's it. Your own LEGO Terrarium that will last a lifetime. All you have to do is find a nice place to put it.
Whether you put it on your bookshelf or in your home office, this DIY project can unleash your creativity and is a great activity to do with others. We couldn't think of a better use for that old fishbowl sitting in your garage. Have fun building - and we'd love to see your photos. Share them with us by tagging #LEGOTerrariums on social media!
Tip: Give the LEGO terrarium enough space on the shelf so that the display is more noticeable. Keeping it out of direct sunlight will keep it looking magical!
