How to Make a Tiny Terrarium in a Light Bulb
- noonespecial 17y agoAs someone who's done shipbuilding in lightbulb glass, I need to add this: DO: Wrap the bulb in a towel and hold it that way when you go to break the back end of the bulb off. I have a 3/4" scar between my right thumb and my wrist that says this is a good idea.
- arch_hunter 17y agoThat sounds like fun! Did you fill the lightbulb with water afterwards, and let the ship float in the water, or did you make some kind of stand inside of the lightbulb?
- samratjp 17y agoFor such a "green"ish feeling that this project exudes, I am going to say that you should just wait for your existing bulbs to die and then use that instead. In fact, I wonder if bulbs could be recycled in this manner and spur a new business.
- arch_hunter 17y agoI wonder how a small cactus would do in a terrarium of this size? They shouldn't need much in the way of water.
- ars 17y agoCacti still need water - they just store it, so they handle boom/bust cycles well. Also they need soil.
