YOU. GUYS. Β I’m not exaggerating when I say this is my favorite confetti DIY to date. Not only are these confetti succulent gardens / terrariums SUPER easy and quick to put together, but they looks sooooo bright and happy and I just love them lots.
All you need are some clear containers (Goodwill/thrift shops/tag sales are great resources for finding unique and cheap options), confetti (obvi), and some faux succulents (I got mine at my local craft store.)
Fill up the containers with confetti, add your succulent(s), and voila! Perfection.
You can use one confetti mix, or layer a few. (Remember sand art? This is even better since it’s confetti art!)
Depending on the size and shape of your container, have fun playing around with different styles.
You can also add glitterΒ trees, gilded rocks, and cute trinkets/figurines to make it even more of a magical, whimsical wonderland.
(This would also be a fun craft to do with kids,Β letting them choose their own little toys and plants to add.)
And can you just imagine if you used some custom confetti?! π±
Maybe add in your brand logo? Your word of the year? A seasonal phrase or shape(s)? So many options, making it a perfect piece of versatile decor for your home or office β simply change up the colors when you want to shake things up!
UPDATE September 2017
Themed terrariums are fun, too! Here are some new variations I’ve had fun dreaming up. π
Halloween
Mermaid / Under the Sea
UPDATE April 2017
Now that I offer confetti jars, they can easily be turned into a type of terrarium! Simply take off the lid, add a flower/succulent/figurine, and you have an instant piece of magical decor!

How do you secure the succulents to keep them in place?
Love the flower pots. Would that process work on the terracotta pots as well?
Hey Laura! I literally just placed the succulents on top of the confetti. As long as they remain pretty stationary on a table/surface you shouldn’t really need to secure them. (Plus it makes it easy to switch out the styles/colors when you want a change. π ) And while this would work on a terracotta pot (as long as you covered the hole in the bottom), it’s best with a clear container so you can actually see the confetti! <3
