I never did finish the lightbulb terrarium because I accidentally broke my lightbulb (grrr) but I did find an awesome stand for it! I used a burned-down tealight holder--you know the little aluminum cups? You could use the clear ones, too, as long as you clean them out. I'm trying to figure out a way to hang the lightbulb terrarium from the narrow end now--any ideas for that one?? Thanks so much for your comment! Hi Brent!

Great little project. Mine is slightly different in that I used small pea gravel, with water (from my aquarium). I have a little moss floating with a small stick and a small red shrimp. At first I had plugged the end with some silicone, but then removed as the entire thing clouded up and didn't allow me to see inside. I've had it up now for about 3 months and it's doing great, I change the water about every two weeks. I am wondering for the terrarium in the photo, if it has a plugged end and what is being used for the stand? I made my stand out of a coat hanger and it looks, ok, but kindof funky.

I just bought some irish moss and I'm going to try it in a small lidded glass container I bought at Target. Let me know how yours turns out! Those would be great gifts!

Great to look at and I love the reclaimed part of it, using a light bulb in that way. Gee, I'm wondering if there's a way to make them into Xmas tree ornaments? Cheers!
