DIY Mini Planters from Antique Glass Insulators

We love antique glass insulators—their colored glass, history, and versatility from rustic to modern. Dan 330 transformed a box of unused insulators into trendy mini planters with succulents. Full tutorial here. Insulators cost ~$5 at antique shops (avoid collector pieces >$100).

Our Suggestions:

• Succulents: No natural drainage—add gravel + activated charcoal (indoor planting supplies) at bottom before planting.
• Mosses: Equally amazing! We're loving Spike Moss (golden variety preferred, less hardy, best as houseplant/annual). Irish/Scotch moss also work.

These look fantastic lined up on a bright kitchen windowsill!
