HALLOWEEN TERRARIUM

I love to decorate for Halloween but sometimes I want decorations that aren't gory or scary and that will match the rest of my decor. If you feel the same way this miniature terrarium project has got you covered. The little painted ghost is festive but the rest of the terrarium is perfect for any time of the year.

MATERIALS NEEDED FOR HALLOWEEN TERRARIUM:

- Small glass vase, round  - Pebbles  - Coffee grounds  - Flat rock

MATERIALS NEEDED FOR HALLOWEEN TERRARIUM:

- White and black acrylic craft paint  - Paintbrush, small fine tip  - Mini pinecones  - Decorative moss

All items can be found at your local craft store or dollar store. You can buy the rocks at the craft store as well but they should be easy enough to collect outdoors on a nature walk with your kids or grand kids. My daughter, Chloe loves to collect and paint rocks.
