I love what you've done with the lightbulb. I wanted to try the same thing but the problem is, I cant seem to pry out the metal side of the bulb. Everytime I try to pry it out, I feel like the bulb might break in my hands Any suggestions?

Hey Shapewear
I used all the steps of this tute: http://thehipsterho.me/2010/01/how-to-make-a-tiny-terrarium-in-a-light-bulb/ which was great as it showed how to peel off the first metal bit and then snap the inside glass parts without breaking the outer globe. There shouldn't be any metal you need to touch except that first little outer disc. Everything else that you snap is glass.

It might be that you have an impossible kind of globe. I did try one which completely failed because it had a plastic grey insert inside the metal base. It was impossible to get rid of that insert and I ended up breaking the globe. If you can find a globe that looks like the one in the tutorial it should make it a lot easier. Good idea to wear gloves so if the globe does break it doesn't matter :)

Let me know if you're still having trouble and I'll try to help :)

I followed this tutorial to make some as well. They came out so cute! I used some mose, etc. I had a hard time finding the little airplans. Where did you get yours?

Hey Amy
would love to see a pic of yours too!
I found mine at Queen Vic Market, but initially I just searched for 'tillandsia' and 'melbourne' to find people who stocked them. I was lucky enough to get them near by!

hey My friend has been making really adorable terrarium accessories and she finally made an etsy store, Ive bought a tonne from her cuz I just cant get enough of making terrariums! check it out:
