Tiny Terrariums

Tiny TerrariumsThis demo will include all materials and instruction for each person to create a tiny terrarium of their own! You will choose from an assortment of tiny glass vials, and create a living tiny garden.
Plants to choose from will include: various tiny succulents, moss, and lichen. These tiny terrariums will require very little maintenance, and will look adorable just about anywhere.
Little Wicked Designs is a new adventure for sisters Katy and Melissa. Both are smitten with all things tiny.  Katy and Melissa love creating tiny worlds with vintage glassware, making tiny terrariums with discarded lab glass, and photographing tiny toys. The sister team is not sure if the real world is quite ready for their snarky, sometimes dark sense of humor, but they are crossing their fingers that it is!
