Wine glasses may or may not be my guilty pleasure. Not only are they the vessel for my favorite beverage [1], but they also have a way of making me feel so darn classy with every sip — so classy, in fact, that I usually end up "accidentally" buying a set of four every time there's a sale at HomeGoods, which means my cupboard is jam-packed with enough wine glasses to accommodate the Cabernet cravings of an entire small town.
Thanks to the endless decorating ideas found on Pinterest, I now have the perfect way to repurpose those dusty glasses: by using them as terrarium planters! Wine glass planters, as you can probably imagine, are incredibly easy to DIY [2]. Simply fill the bottom of a wine glass with a bit of sand or gravel followed by potting soil. Then plant the greenery of your choice (succulents are my personal favorite!), and add a handful of pebbles, moss, or even crystals for some extra pizzazz. Might I suggest throwing a few gothic black succulents [3] in there for a slightly vampy touch?
If you're ready to fill every windowsill and countertop with a wine glass terrarium, read on for some inspiration to see how people all over Pinterest and Instagram are crafting their picture-worthy creations.
