Step 1
Collect enough small rocks to cover the bottom of the jar. Paint small rocks with poster colors to make mushrooms. After the paint dries apply a coat of clear nail polish so that the paint doesn't wear off.
Step 2
Create a layer of rocks on the bottom of the jar but the height shouldn't be more than 3 cm. These rocks will help to drain excess water. Add an inch or more of soil mix on top of the rock layer.
Step 3
Wash and clean the jar nicely. Collect the plants you want to plant in the jar. I collected a small aloe-vera plant and a small succulent plant. Make sure that the plants have roots.
Step 4
Press the soil with your finger to create hole and plant the plants carefully. After planting add the painted mushrooms, shells and small stones around the plants. Do not add too much detail, keep at least 1 cm space around the plants. Enjoy!
