Pretty good quality resin material decorations, a bit bigger than I expected; but still good!

Cutest tiny mushrooms arrived! They are so tiny and cute!

Reusing mini sauce containers. Keeping everything as recycled as possible.

The cover is perfect size for slightly bigger bottles.

The container becomes a nice hat for the spice bottle size

Perfect decoration and the contrast looks fantastic!

Oh, building terrariums has been so much fun for me. Looking at the new leaves growing with signs of stabilisng life is exhilarating!

However, just seeing the greens may be a little bit dull for cute bottled terrarium like these, and right now I haven't saved up enough for springtails, which I may need to have them soon since I started detecting molds to regulate the ecosystem better, I started looking out for decorations that could actually last in terrariums.

Previously, I got a few that were styrofoam style, however the seller mentioned that I cannot use for consealed terrariums because they are not waterproof.

Thinking that I could just spray a coat of water proof transparent paint could work, in the end, the humidity invited moulding instead!
So right now I may have to eventually start to move replant my pilot terrarium to a new bottle so that it has a better chance of surviving before the mould eat it up entirely.

So I started to look around from one online shop to another, including big plant nurseries while looking for succulents (that's anotehr story to tell); until I landed with these super cute resin designs. Many of the other shops do sell them, however they were mostly too big for my tiny #junk2glory bottles that doesn't have a lot of space.

What do you think? They do look cute right?

This is just the beginning for more future adventures for junk2glory! Hopefully later when I have figured out how to gather my thoughts well enough to present a business plan / proposal on #hive , it will be a project worth supporting, of course by then, I will need to persevere.

the decorations look adorable. Very nice indeed. Have you sold any of them yet?

Yes. They are!
Now I am testing to see if there's any molding later like the previous one. If it doesn't promote mold, then I can acquire another batch again once all of them have one each as balancé.

hope you can find a solution soon
