Pretty Small Things: air plant homes!

Over the holidays I went air plant hunting in Florida. Ever since, I've been itching to find them pretty little homes. Well, I've made some progress and I'm excited to share it with you!

A very fun air plant home that has been on my DIY list for a wile was a hollowed out lightbulb. I finally did it - yay! I used these instructions by Team Droid to modify the lightbulb and it really wasn't too difficult at all. His warnings about glass shards are definitely accurate, so follow his instructions and be safe!

I also used some beautiful wire and glass globes I found at Homegoods for about $8 total. (But, I had a giftcard from my soon-to-be mother-in-law - thank you Linda!!) I added some gravel and a shell for a terrarium look. 

The last two air plant homes I came up with were a little shell and a beautiful box from my soon-to-be sister-in-law. Thank you Jody!! Aren't my (soon-to-be) in-laws stylin?

Moral of the story: air plants are super awesome and versatile - you can put them almost anywhere and they look amazing!

Which is your favorite? Where would you put your air plants?
