Lifehacker shows you how to turn a wine bottle into a terrarium

When I was in fifth grade, one of our class projects was terrariums, little miniature ecosystems inside an enclosed space.  First we’d lay down a layer of dirt.  Then we’d plant grass seed.  Once the grass was growing, we’d add crickets.  Once the crickets had time to adjust to their new home, we’d add a frog.  Man those crickets stank.  At the end of the semester we turned the frog loose in the woods.

This Lifehacker article teaches you how to turn an empty wine bottle into a terrarium.  You aren’t going to be able to fit a frog in there, but with a little work you can get moss and similar plants growing.  Works best with clear or light-colored wine bottles, obviously.

Our bookstore can give you many more ideas on cool things to do with booze and booze products.
