  Step 1

  Layer on the bottom, the ingredients as follows:

  Gravel, then charcoal, then bark, and then soil. Make sure it does not go above 1/4 of your jar.

• Step 2

  Add in plants into the center.

• Step 3

  Around the plants, place pieces of the moss. Use chopstick to move your moss around until you get it in the right place.

• Step 4

  Use finger tips or a dowel with a large cork on the end of it, to pat the soil and moss down around the outside of the jar. Arrange to look pretty.

• 

  Step 5

  Place rocks, tiny critters, or pretty pieces of tumbled glass around the terrarium as accents.

• 

  Step 6

  Every three days, squirt the ecosystem with a squirt bottle. The moss is your canary in the coal mine. When it starts to look dry, you know you need more water.

  Step 7

  Enjoy and happy crafting!

Such a nice idea! I've got some cute animal toys which I could do this with.
