Hello!

Would love your suggestions. Planning to make some new terrariums over Summer.

  • I’ve had some luck finding cheap containers for terrariums at places like Kmart, Target, and even IKEA. They often have affordable glass jars, vases, and even decorative bowls that work perfectly. I’ve also scored a few from thrift stores and garage sales—old glassware can make unique terrariums. If you’re looking for something even cheaper, check out places like The Reject Shop or Big W, where you can often find basic glass containers at great prices. Do you have a certain style or size in mind for your terrariums?


  • I’d suggest seeking out your local op shops if you have the time to browse. Some cheap department stores like kmart may offer these.


  • You could always try saving some containers that food and things come in


  • Yeah I’d go to a 2 dollar shop some of them have a decent selection of jars and bottles


  • the cheapy dollar shops usually have heaps of interesting little vases, jars and containers to use for these sorts of things.


  • Op shops for sure!


  • Jars and plain glass vases can be good. If you don’t have any, try the local op shop. You can probably find some really interesting shapes and containers there :)


  • Kmart or the reject shop.


  • kmart or those cheap shops have them.


  • Perhaps you could try Kmart or Bunnings.


  • my first choice would be the cheap $2 style stores like reject shop, cheap as chips etc, we got all our wedding vases from those shops and saved a fortune, you could also try bunnings or nurseries as well


  • Bunnings for sure


  • Those $2 stores or art and craft stores


  • My dad used to have terrariums full of fly catching plants. Have you tried tip shops? They have lots of treasures for not much dollars


  • Our local Kmart has a garden section and they had some cute little terrarium accessories as well (little toadstools and fairies etc,).


  • Mum7108 – How could I have forgotten about K Mart! Thank you! :)


  • Kmart!


  • A massive thank you mum321285 for the tip! I will take a look at Aldi – hanging terrariums sound rather marvellous.


  • I wouldn’t purchase them at all… use glass jars from jam, coffee etc.


  • I did see at aldi this week they had hanging glass terrarium containers, that might help you. :)
