Hi frends, today we are going to show you how to make a self-sustaining terrarium from a light bulb.

http://ssmaker.ru/d8ee9a54.jpg Leter on you will get to know why it is a self-sustaining terrarium. As you must have guessed we will need a regular incandescent light bulb. http://ssmaker.ru/3a2453f2.jpg Before starting working on the project let me put on a pair of gloves and a pair of safety goggles. http://ssmaker.ru/a08425da.jpg Let us pull the out the electric foot contact with a pair of needle nose pliers. http://SSmaker.ru/150d95e3.jpg http://SSmaker.ru/f575a63b.jpg Crack the black insulation foot glass and tak out the pieces. http://SSmaker.ru/8d0f0a61.jpg http://SSmaker.ru/a7a12627.jpg Then we need to detach the glass mount with a flat head slotted screwdriver and hollow the light bulb. http://SSmaker.ru/b0afb6ec.jpg http://SSmaker.ru/8538505c.jpg http://SSmaker.ru/62b4e4a5.jpg Be careful with the small pieces of the ice you need to take out of your light bulb. http://SSmaker.ru/ac87c682.jpg http://SSmaker.ru/f10c0be0.jpg Now we got a hollowed light bulb with a hole which is neat and smooth around the edges. http://SSmaker.ru/9328f88b.jpg http://SSmaker.ru/2008815d.jpg I found a pretty stone outside, here it is. http://SSmaker.ru/5d6396d0.jpg Let us apply small amount of adhesive to each of the four corners of the stone, these glue dots protect furniture from scratches and make the stone more steady. http://SSmaker.ru/a3986b5f.jpg http://SSmaker.ru/85ca3377.jpg Then apply a sufficient amount of adhesive to one of the stones side to glue the light bulb to the stone, here is what got it may look different in your case. http://SSmaker.ru/75cf2f84.jpg http://SSmaker.ru/a5245650.jpg We went to a forest to find filling for the light bulb terrarium, we need some moss which is in abundance in the forest we went to it is filling the plant is small and unpretentious which is pretty suitable for us. http://SSmaker.ru/230c5d1a.jpg http://SSmaker.ru/f35cd3a6.jpg http://SSmaker.ru/f5fb1d64.jpg We gathered some soil and bark, here is components of the filling that we gathered. http://SSmaker.ru/7c04a411.jpg http://SSmaker.ru/3374a0a8.jpg http://SSmaker.ru/3a36f49b.jpg You need to roll a sheet of paper into a small cone, let us pour in some small stones on the bottom of the light bulb that will serve as drainage. http://SSmaker.ru/9a508345.jpg http://SSmaker.ru/99b84bab.jpg http://SSmaker.ru/396c024e.jpg http://SSmaker.ru/92bc674f.jpg http://SSmaker.ru/20e76d11.jpg Then let us pour in a layer of sand, evenly spread it over the stones with a stick and pour in the soil. http://SSmaker.ru/f2b503c3.jpg http://SSmaker.ru/8c802da7.jpg http://SSmaker.ru/e591e829.jpg Let us fill the light bulb with the help of a pair of tweezers, neatly arranging them in a way you like. http://SSmaker.ru/8db33a0c.jpg http://SSmaker.ru/c60c0840.jpg http://SSmaker.ru/5cba41f9.jpg Then let us pour in some water with a syringe with a needle. http://SSmaker.ru/d6c46d85.jpg http://SSmaker.ru/82abd550.jpg We found a few acorn in the forest, let us apply some PVA glue to one of them and seal the light bulb with it. http://SSmaker.ru/70e80ac3.jpg http://SSmaker.ru/c9cdc03e.jpg http://SSmaker.ru/61d6db08.jpg http://SSmaker.ru/4c39b4f1.jpg If you didnt find a acorns, you can cut off a small piece of twig and use it as a cork. http://SSmaker.ru/021fdb2c.jpg http://SSmaker.ru/ad1f4ca4.jpg http://SSmaker.ru/5d070a93.jpg You can use a copper wire instead of a stone. http://SSmaker.ru/1b0c890c.jpg http://SSmaker.ru/ec3ebc46.jpg As a result we got a pretty mini terrarium, its distinctive feature is that it is sealed in spite of this the life inside the bulb wont end. http://SSmaker.ru/40d2c6a0.jpg http://SSmaker.ru/b4b2078e.jpg http://SSmaker.ru/36ebc42b.jpg The bulb will sustain its own small flora with its own circle of carbon dioxide, oxygen and water cycles, its like a small planet with its own conditions where some species may die out and other may flourish tens of years. http://SSmaker.ru/fba17ede.jpg If you like, share it with your friends, it will be of some interest to them http://drawi.ru/pic/da8ed5bfc1e7372e.jpeg
