Was at Thrift Town and saw this kerosene lamp that was no longer in fit shape to hold kerosene, so of course I thought, terrarium!
The first step was to seal up the wick hole with candle wax. Then I added pebbles, charcoal, and soil.
On top of the soil: moss, pebbles, and a couple of little sedum plants. Sedum (aka stonecrop) tends to grow in rocky crevices with very limited water and root space, so it seemed like a good pick for a small setup like this.
I gave the finished product as a birthday present. This was a fun project; I'm going to be keeping an eye out for more non-functioning glass things...

You could maybe keep some daphnia in there...
I think it would make a nice fish tank.
