Betsy Feldman owner of The Greetery, showed how to make this 3D terrarium on her blog using her dies. I cut out two of the large terrarium dies in silver, I cut two of the solid terrarium die out of clear acetate and glued the acetate to the silver on both pieces. I cut a panel of the silver paper 7"x1 1/2" scoring it at 3/4", 2 1/4", 4 3/4" and 6 1/4" on the long side. Then you score a 1/8" down each long edge. Cut a little triangle out at each score line on the edge. Fold on all the score lines, put scortape on the 1/8" edges and adhere the panel to the bottom insides of both of the terrarium pieces to make a bottom for your terrarium.
I sponged all the pieces of a large and small succulent with Distress inks as listed and glued the pieces together. I placed them inside the terrarium and added Chocolate Candy River rocks to hold them in place. I got the candy on Amazon.
A fun gift for a birthday or to give when you visit a friend!

a perfect base.
