I know fuck all about pokemon, but my partner Josh loves it. I was going to make him a pokeball terrarium for Christmas but when the ball arrived as a weird flat thing I gave up. Instead, I'm just going to make one in a candle jar for the sake of a blog post.
You will need:
A jar of some kind
Small stones (thank you Worthing beach)
A fake plant that still looks good when cut into tiny pieces
A hot glue gun
A tiny pokemon (I've already made this and it was probably the hardest part so good luck.)
Cling film
Step 1.
Go to your local beach (preferably in the rain) with a bin bag and look like a madwoman scooping up pebbles.
Step 2.
Attempt to get all remaining wax out of the candle jar and wash the crap of the stones. Fail, and put wet stones into the jar, filling it up about 1/4.
Step 3.
Build your waterfall using a hot glue method you found online, using the lid for the jar as the price of glass which you can gently peel off once the glue is dry.
Step 4.
Realise that your glue is slightly tinged with yellow making it look like a piss river. A piss river that is now stuck to the lid of the jar that you intend to use.
Step 5.
Give up on that and function a river and waterfall out of cling film.
Step 6.
Learn that HOT GLUE DOES NOT STICK TO STONES and have a little strop.
Step 7.
Put your 'charming water feature' into the jar and surround with stones in the hope that it will make it less shit.
Step 8.
Chuck the plants in, why not.
Step 9.
Wack your pokemon in there and stick em down all cosy.
I'm sorry.
