  Step 1

  Measure the size of your terrarium and print out a photo of the wheel that fits perfectly. Place a sheet of glass or plastic over the photo. I used the glass from a photo frame.

• 

  Step 2

  Heat up the 3D printing pen and fill with the silver filament.

  Start by tracing the circle of the wheel onto the glass. Trace over the circle a couple more times to get it looking nice and 3D.

• 

  Step 3

  Now add the spokes. across the middle of the wheel.

• 

  Step 4

  Add little blobs for the pods at each of the spokes.

• 

  Step 5

  Add a big circle in the middle of the wheel and then bring two lines down in a triangle from the middle for the stands.

• 

  Step 6

  Repeat on the other side of the wheel and then print a square base so that the wheel can stand by itself.

• 

  Step 7

  Use a pair of scissors to trim away any loose wisps of plastic.

• 

  Step 8

  Fill in any gaps on your model until you're happy with it.

• 

  Step 9

  Stack some decoupage squares in the middle of the terrarium to create a stand for the wheel.

• 

  Step 10

  Stick the wheel in place.

• 

  Step 11

  Fill the base of the terrarium with blossom. I cut the petals off some pink fabric flowers.

• 

  Step 12

  Tie a ribbon to the top of your terrarium so it can be hung.

• 

  Step 13

  Hang in your window and admire your new skyline!
