Hurrah!  A new DIY tutorial video - and just in time for Mother’s Day!  These air plant terrariums are SO incredibly simple to assemble and care for.  If you can put flowers in a vase, you can create an air plant terrarium - and I guarantee they’ll last longer!  SUBSCRIBE To my YouTube channel! http://bit.ly/CraftedWithRobert

Materials:
Small Stones/Rocks
Air Plants
Glass Container
Preserved Moss
Decorative Elements (optional)
Directions:
1. Begin with a thoroughly cleaned container and then create a layer of rocks in the bottom.
2. Arrange preserved moss and decorative elements.
3. Insert air plants.
Helpful Tips:
• The proper name for air plants is tillandsia. Tillandsia are epiphytes and need no soil because water and nutrients are absorbed through the leaves. The roots are used as anchors only.
• Mist plants once a week. Position in indirect sunlight.
• Air plants can be purchased at many local nurseries or online: http://www.airplant.com/, http://airplantcity.com/, http://www.airplantshop.com/


Silly side note!  This was the very first video we shot in conjunction with Kin Community for my YouTube channel http://www.youtube.com/user/craftedwithrobert.  The nerves were a little evident - I was so used to producing video, being in front of the camera was entirely different beast!  That being said my brilliant producer Beth at KinCommunity and her crackerjack team of editors made it look lovely.  We shoot a five more projects next week and I’m feeling a little more confident and camera ready! Lol!  Stay tuned for more great projects. xo

Excited to share my new DIY video tutorial: Tie-Dyed Eggs! It’s a fun, simple and virtually mess-free way to decorate Easter eggs.  I hope you’ll give it a try!  I’ve also compiled a Pinterest board to show you examples of ways others have tacked this project, see it here: http://pinterest.com/robertm/tie-dyed-eggs/

The Christmas tree and holiday decorations have only been down a few weeks but already I miss that extra bit of indoor greenery.  So a trip to the LA Flower Mart had me assembling a sweet and simple lemon leaf wreath for above the mantle.   An outing to the California Cactus Center in Pasadena led to a series of air plant terrariums to be featured on an upcoming Kin Community DIY video!
