DIY Plant Terrariums

I found this on Pinterest a couple of months ago, and now that the Ecology Club has gotten some cool plants(succulents!), I figured this was a good way to re-pot them after they grow a little more. It's easy to do at home, or if everyone's interested we could possibly get together a meeting to make some terrariums!
