How to make a Terrarium for free || Build a terrarium without spending any money

This is going to be the last terrarium built for 2020, a year that will go down in history

Its a native terrarium that I built without spending any money. You can call it a native terrarium built for free.
All the materials and plants were picked from the house and garden.
For the container I used an empty malt based beverage bottle.
I used sandstones from a planter top dressing to create a false bottom.
For the false bottom separator I used a muslin cloth that was lying around. It should allow water to percolate through. Lets see how it works since this is the first time I am using something like this. I picked up some leftover charcoal from last year.
I also picked up all the plants from the garden here. Heres the plants that I finally used in the built
Plume moss
Fern
Elephants foot
Creeping mazus

For substrate I used garden soil mixed with some leaf litter.
I found some river stones that I had used for scaping work in the garden and used them for hardscape. I used sifted river sand leftover from construction work at home to create details.
It all came together quite well I think. Hope you all like it.
Wishing everyone a happy and healthy 2021
