Chances are you have a ton of wine glasses in your home. If you're looking for a new way to use them, this adorable container garden is the perfect idea. All you need is a glass, potting soil, sand or gravel and your plants of choice. Many people use succulents, cacti or air plants since they're low maintenance, but it's really the gardener's prerogative, as proven by these beautiful creations.
To create a garden that'll thrive, dump about a cup of sand or gravel into your glass (this helps with drainage). Then add enough potting soil to cover the roots of your plants.

You can also add rocks and moss (one of the trendiest plants of the moment) on top of your soil to create interesting texture in your garden. Or, if you're a fan of fairy gardens, these glasses are practically begging for a mini chair or house.
If you pick a drought resistant cactus or succulent, you can fill your basin with neutral rocks, which makes for a stylish centerpiece. An easy-to-care for garden is also a thoughtful hostess gift for the next summer party you get invited to.

A short brandy glass works too, as proven by MissMossGifts on Etsy. If you're intimidated by keeping a plant alive, this white and purple Cattleya orchid is made out of clay (a.k.a. it's impossible to kill). But the moss is real so you'll still have that natural touch.

We love how these wine glass terrariums made by PaulsPlantBoutique on Etsy look like mini forests thanks to all the different plants.
If you can't get to the beach this summer, create your own mini getaway like LandscapesNMiniature on Etsy did.
