Running Waterfalls in a Jar (Moss Terrarium)
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 19 июн 2024
- I wanted to put waterfalls in a terrarium for a while now, but I wasn't able to make it happen in previous renditions. I also had other things to work on. Nothing beats a standard jungle-style terrarium, but I think this is a really cool concept that's awesome to watch. That said, you really need to see it in person to appreciate the view. The waterfalls are fairly substantial, but the video can only translate it so well.
Enjoy the build and let me know what you think about it in the comments!

It took a few renditions to get it right, but I've finally pulled this one off! I'm excited to share it and I hope you all enjoy the video. Have a great weekend! 🌿
This looks awesome! 🤩🤩
Great work as usual, keep it up
Thank you for sharing this build 🙏 God bless you.
I did! It was very easy to follow tutorial and very relaxing. I've enjoyed many of your builds but I think this is the one for me! I love how it looks and the size. Well done you!
You've become part of my Saturday morning routine.
No way the manufacturers of this jar could have predicted this use of their product. Looks awesome man!
I manufacture jars actually and gave him the idea and the jar... strange coincidence I guess because I agree and know what you mean.
Please consider buying your pickling jars from my business
@@aryah1513 ...
@James Velde its clearly a joke
Who new the jar would be used to put something inside it incredible 🤣
The manufacturers of the jar in the video "one man one jar":☹
When I was a teenager, my mother built a working waterfall/rock garden in a corner of the living room. I always thought that was pretty cool. She also loved and built a terrarium in a large water bottle, among other containers. How she would have loved to do this one. Absolutely beautiful.
Impressive!! She sounds amazingly creative
She's in heaven relaxing by waterfalls. But don't you go chasing them, listen to rivers you're used to. She will be there waiting for you patiently to be reunited. 🙂
May your mama rest in peace. Thank you for sharing this story with us! This is my plan in our living room! 😃 we are building new and we have a drain in one corner for this purpose. Id love to see pictures of her creation. We are off grid and in dry Montana, plus a wood stove... And have to run a humidifier especially in the winter. One day I thought.. Why have this ugly, noisy hunk of plastic? When we can have a beautiful sttement in living room instead. 😃
Something the creator pointed out that I am most worried about... He said he added springtails to it to keep mold at bay... 😬 i have no idea what those are but have no idea how to keep mold at bay in my little corner...
@@MountainBabyRoses I would just build a little bay in your corner and put up a sign for the mold to stay there (you certainly don't want it going all over your house that's for sure).
In 10 minutes I went from never imagining such a thing to wanting to make one - it's amazing.
yea same
Same. Drives my parents nuts cause when Im on break from college this is the sort of thing I do to keep busy
Me too
I was dealing with something rather traumatic, so I really wanted something calming to watch before bed. This video is so peaceful and soothing. You’re an amazing artist. Thank you for spreading beauty in a often ugly world. ❤️
I hope you’re doing better now
same here@@somedude3977
Hoping that all is well!
Would really like to see an update on this a bit later on down the road to see how it's doing. Really nice engineering on this one, and a beautiful final result.
would like to see an update on allot of them down the line.
Great job! I would like to see this in a couple of months to see long results as well.
I am so impressed. How calming it would be to have this miniature falls to stare at while meditating or just... staring.
You're very talented.
Silicone pro here, less is more.
As long as you have a clean surface you'll get adhesion.
To smooth, use water or weak alcohol solution like windex.
It won't stick to your fingers, but I'd still recommend gloves.
Surface area beats volume.
Also, super glue will degrade in water and toxify it.
Poly expanding foam also has less than wonderful qualities that make it one of my least favorite materials.
You can use clear water wash resin and a uv light to set the bottom.
The moss and the rocks in the bottom will also help with filtration.
Fantastic project.
I’ve known super glue gets weaker over time, but I’ve never heard of it toxifying water. I’m not finding anything on google either.
@@wan2shuffle only really relevant in food stuffs, it doesn't "toxify" it so much as dissolve in it over time and no longer make it safe for consumption. Silicone does not.
This is awesome. My son does this, and I never really understood what he was doing, but now I think I have gained the knowledge to understand and appreciate what he is doing.
I'm speechless...this is truly one of your most complicated builds and yet you made an amazing job! Great Build Tanner!
"I'm speechless" continues to not be speechless lol
@@dennisflanders1957 i think u mean “type less” 😂
@@matthewhunt8859 what do you mean?
@@matthewhunt8859 What are you trying to say? I don't get the context.
This video was as relaxing to watch as a Bob Ross painting with happy little trees.
Thank you so much for the new ideas. This was amazing and that terrarium is absolutely beautiful.
Holy wow. I was just going to make a Bob Ross comment too. So relaxing to watch this build.
Bob Moss.
Yeah, I was thinking this was just like watching Mr. Rodgers when I was a child
This is insanely impressive! Not only the build itself, but the sheer imagination in the first place!
looks absolutely amazing! I'd be very interested to see how its looking now a year down the line.
This man is an artist of the highest order. His medium is so unique, yet his skill set is diverse and multidisciplinary. What a masterpiece.
Everything he does is done for a reason, which I appreciate.

This came up randomly one late night of watching RUclips. I’m speechless! This is gorgeous! I’d never have the vision nor patience to build this and I’m so grateful there are others who have both attributes. I’m moving on to watch more! Thank you for sharing your gift with us.
He is an educator, thru and thru
Yep. 2am
Yeah same here just then
Hes incredible
Dude has some serious patience that I do not have. I would have used a standard bottle stand they sell on amazon, and 3d printed the interior piece with lots of small pores to hold vegetation. The focal point would be a bonsai tree at the bottom, and I would not drill any holes in glass, but invert the jar, and have everything run through a cork stopper, and a 3d printed return system instead of a filth collecting tray. He likely spent 200 hours on that, and I would not spend more than 4. Dude is a legend.
it is very calming and satisfying to look at if you are someone that likes waterfalls or nature. It’s incredible stuff here
This terrarium is worth at least $1000 with all the expertise put into it. This is genuinely gorgeous. How long did this take?
Probably a few days to a week, given how often he has to leave the project alone for glue/silicone to dry.
Seventeen minutes, give or take…
My guess is 40 hours. For Serpa.
*Me with deadlines to meet*
RUclips: "Waterfall in a Jar?"
Me: Yes.
🤣 right
Lmaooo
Spot on
This is me right now DX
🤣🤣🙋♀️Same here
This popped up randomly on my feed and I’ve sat fascinated! If you’ve seen those mass produced numbers in the garden centres, you can really appreciate the natural beauty of this creation. Well done👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
it randomly popped up for me too while i was looking a vids on coding lol
As I watched this video, I got totally lost in the creating of it... I have extreme anxiety, but by the time the video ended I realized that a wonderful calm had come over me. This was surprising... it left me with a feeling of gratitude.... Thank you so much for sharing your amazing talent.
you should add a dim switch for a small led light under the lid to act as a night light for when you lay down to sleep. i would just stare at it every single night haha
It’s beautiful! It would give a room a peaceful and soothing finish. The only thing I would have done differently, would be to use modeling clay to hide the plastic tray, shaping and painting it to look like more stone.
Good Idea. I am going to try this project and deeply consider your suggestion.
@@magmaraymaker.kweenkleokat8779 I agree, great idea!
Brilliant how RUclips (its intended purpose, anyways) brings you in contact with such unbelievably talented craftspersons, showing their fantastical imagination and level of skill that people like me can only wonder about. So glad to have "stumbled" on this channel by pure accident. Subscribed.
Fun fact, RUclips began as a dating website, so it’s “intended purpose” isn’t to connect you with talented craftspeople. But I’m glad it evolved into that.
The build is stunning. The scale and the look you were going for was almost perfect. The bubbles in the middle tray was the only thing that spoiled the scaling a little, everything else looks amazing.
Utterly fantastic piece. You’re so so clever. It properly resembles the real thing in miniature form. Well done!!!!
That is absolutely gorgeous. It's literally like catching a memory in a jar for me, that looks like one of the natural springs around my grandmother's house we used to play near!
Man, what I wouldn’t give to have this on my desk. It looks so calming and I bet when you’re working, it’ll relieve your stress when you stare at this beauty! Surrounded by manmade steel/concrete structures and technology, you have this miniature forest calming your soul :)
Have a wonderful day everyone!
This was insanely satisfying to watch and listen to, I love how you're properly explaining step by step how you've worked on it!
This is ridiculously cool! Fantastic work Serpa!
"Textural contrast" dude your instruction vocabulary is on point just as much as your creation. Bravo
I would pay money for this! It would be the centerpiece of my coffee table! It kinda reminds me of a living terrarium I made for my tarantula when I was a teenager.
I would buy this too....not only for myself, but it would be a great gift. Anyone sell these?
+1, any sellers to the UK?
@@timweaver7826 something as fragile as this is hard to ship, also have to consider that the moss needs sunlight too
i wish i could buy one too :/
Absolutely. I would by this for cash anytime, any day. It would be such a good addition to my collection of fountains!
I would definitely buy this any suppliers in UK or could be shipped for hone assembly I love this it an amazing work of art Thank you gor sharing.
Amazing artistry! I really enjoyed watching you create this. I love miniature worlds, and this is one of my favorites!
Your creativity knows no bounds
Tanner, have you ever considered doing a Bob Ross challenge with a terrarium build? As in building a terrarium inspired by a Bob Ross landscape?
Love this idea
I really hope he does it.
this is a GREAT unique idea!!
You’re a god for this idea.
Love this idea, I hope Tanner sees it
Many months ago my roommates had to inquire as to why I was spending the ENTIRE day with one video playing on loop
- loudly -
And as such, we collectively thank you
for enveloping us with an educational experience, enjoyable and memorable
It’s beautiful ❤
Wow, such a beautiful waterfall. Great thinking outside the Terrarium.
This will be a surprise for my husband who suffers from depression and anxiety to put in his bedroom. It will be so relaxing for him. To make it a surprise will assure it gets done. Thanks so much🥰
Bev , you're awesome.
How sweet! Wish my spouse had been remotely like that. I hope the project turns out well for you, it looks really hard
You're definitely a keeper!
Please let him know he's not alone.
These words have helped me throughout the years.
I hope he will enjoy them as much as I have.
If the words have no meaning, it's okay, please just toss it.
Have a great day💞

Thanks for supporting your buddy Bev!
The patience to work within that jar created something absolutely lovely.
Really nailed the scale of this, definitely looks like you just shrunk down a mountainside waterfall and stuck it in a jar
This brings peace into my life. I hope one day I can be so complete to make a nice big terrarium like you my friend. Thank you..
Gray slate flats cut thin would be a “flat”complimentary sheen for top rail of box.
I am in jaw-dropping awe. This is pretty terrific! The notion of a waterfall in a terrarium had never occurred to me. Also, you are a very skillful craftsman; watching you fashion this project is magical. Learned a lot about the various mosses you used. I was looking for tiny-scaled flora for a project; your video helped with that quite a bit. Congratulations on your achievement! Kudos!
Thank god for people like this! This work is difficult and should always be appreated! We need artistic theropy to keep everyone motivated to keep on creating!
Absolutely Amazing
I'd love to see a video that covered various failed projects and learning experiences you've had. It's always satisfying to see completed projects but it's important to highlight the oopsies as well :)
Oopsie, I think this is the first time I read that
Yes plz becuz we need to learn from our failures
His older videos included some mistakes, but dude is pretty ocd, so...I just honestly doubt he makes as many obvious _oopsies_ as most folks. I know from my own experience there been quite a few situations where I rushed a project just to then go back and re-watched only to realize he quickly touched on if not specifically warned about the very thing I messed up and I'd have noticed had I not been skipping through the tutorial. 🤷🏾♀️
Agreed!
Lovely, what are spring tails?
Beautiful design 👍
Thanks for sharing 🙏
Fantastic! So restful to gaze at all day... would make great addition to any busy person's desktop.
Peaceful world. Thanks for sharing 💐
A beautiful piece, one that I would be willing to buy.
This is truly the best comment, as I am thinking of how much I would pay for this ethereal dreamscape! Surely as a creator we all beg this conversation
TA DA!
Mae,
Might I ask how much you would consider as an offer? I will start a quest for the build cost and chime in asap
This is one of the greatest jarrariums I have ever seen ! Beautiful. I want to try something similar if I find the time. Big fan here!
hey i watch you i love you videos and humor so keep it up
What a great maker demonstration project! A great introduction to materials and techniques. And a beautiful outcome. Congrats.
Lil bit darker stain will fix that glare in glass. I'd never noticed had you not said. I was in aww at the beauty from your meticulous work. Its amazing,calming,relaxing most beautiful tiny waterfall I've ever saw.
Most people will never have the patience, skill, and artisitc vision to build a beautiful mini-world like this. Well done.
Totally agreed!!!
A tiny slice of living, moving, nature captured as a work of art, affording us an escape into visual tranquility. It's beautiful. You are brilliant.
Brilliant finish. Love that the outside aesthetic was integrated with the inside.
I enjoyed How you put it together and the end results. A beautiful work of art.
my thoughts: "man this is awesome, it cant get much better than this"
tanner: "lets finish up the details on the outside"
my thoughts: "YOOOOOOOO"
What an amazing job! 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
Fantastic build Serpa!! Loving that jar, and your work is always immaculate!! Hoping to see this one progress!!
Good job man, I used to be a stone mason, and you got a good eye for making stones fit together. This came out beautiful. Do you sell these by chance? Or do you have a home full of really cool things like this?
You used to BE a stone mansion?!

nice goodie. I like it. thx
Extraordinary!! Really. Impressivo!!! to say the least!
Absolutely beautiful. I wouldn't have the patience to do anything like that. What is so nice about it is that it's actually alive. The moss, water and the little bugs.
I love the amount of detail that goes into this
Love it! It's magical. When I was a little girl my friend and I made a rock garden for fairies in an old tin washbowl, sticks for trees, moss and a mirror for a pond with some tiny glass swans on it 'borrowed' from my Nan (who wasn't too impressed when she found out). We put it in the garden and checked every day for signs of fairy residence but to no avail. In the end Nan reclaimed the swans and we thought that was why no fairies turned up. We believed that for quite some time too. Maybe they will find their way to your lovely creation instead! 🧚♂️🧚♀️🧚♂️🧚♀️🙂🙂🙂
I love the filtration sponge, that should last ages with the amount of area it takes up. I would love to see an update and maintenance video sometime.
Wonder will it get hot?
Sadly I get the impression that Tanner is moving away from update videos and more towards short-lived builds. I can understand it from a financial (YT clicks) side though.
@@tinamenard5320 I would assume no because the filter and sponge will be submerged pumping water into the jar for the waterfall.
@@theYTnickname ya, an absolutely beautiful build this one, but with the number of fixed to place units the whole setup had, I sense maintenance would be extremely difficult, if not impossible
@@baalwadi yeah, just trimming the moss as it grows inside the jar would be painful.
I’ve though of this several times, but couldn’t figure out how to fill it in to make it look right. Now I know! The only thing I might add to mine is to try and put some miniature LED lights in strategic places to help add shimmer under the water.
Yours looks awesome, and hopefully I can get mine at least half as great as yours!!
are you saying you build one too?
If so what pump did you use, because i cant seem to find any good small ones.
@@Itsjustluca04 but yet, but hope to before long. As far as a pump, just get a small one, like a table top fountain pump.
So relaxing to watch. What a great gift and talent you have. Thank for sharing.
This kind of video makes me happy. Sometimes I feel really inspired and get the immense urge to create art but I have adhd and know the feeling will be gone soon and I don’t want to give up on projects, watching these kinds of videos helps satisfy the inspirational feeling without ending up with an unfinished project (:
Hey. 🙂 You know that ADHD is a nonsense? You are NORMAL and CAPABLE of doing whatever you want. TRUST and BELIEVE in yourself, no matter what others try to tell you. Just your brain is TOO VIVID and CURIOUS. You CAN do it. Start with SHORT/SMALL project - two stones, branch and a moss. ENJOY IT! Later you will come up with some other idea. Write it down immediately, with details. And make it again... simple. Thus you will MAKE what REALLY brings you HAPINNESS before you get bored. Cheers! 🤝
orrrrr you could just have three projects forever going at once and ride the fixation of the day to get them done in phases. ask me how I know.... :p
@@rebeltango genius 🙌🏽👌🏽
Full blownAdhd here. I do large terrariums with water features, paint, wood craft, and more. The point is don't count yourself out, even small steps lead to progress.
The relaxing nature of Mr. Rogers explaining how a waterfall in a jar was made, it was incredible. Love this piece and I wish to see more of your works
This is mesmerizing. All of your builds are awesome but with the waterfall in the terrarium this is one that can be watched for hours on end as a relaxing background.
Humans are capable of such amazing things when they put their mind to it! THIS is what should be encouraged in schools. To really embrace creativity and to explore and expand your personal interests. Very inspiring build!
Watching Sherpa design makes me happy😊
Your skill and artistry never ceases to amaze me. A truly stunning masterpiece.
Oh my God what a Beautiful piece! How brilliant that you thought 💭 of each a d every piece that went into this project. You should hold classes to teach people how to do this type of project. I know I’d sign up! It’s awesome to see on a video, but to be able to do this in person with an instructor would be ideal. Mahalo for sharing such a Beautiful project!
Yes, agree!!!!!
Absolutely beautiful! Well done! So creative!
these detailed instructions are fantastic thank you so very much for all of the info given! you have answered so many questions for me in a single video thank you so much.
Fantastic piece of work, you definitely have a unique talent. I'm sure it takes a lot of patience to make everything come together. This would be a welcome addition to an office.
Just wondering if you ever thought of incorporating lights somehow, either white led or colored? It would look awesome in a bedroom at night. Thanks for sharing. 😎
Great suggestion of a light(s)!
I love how this project turned out! Great job Tanner
Beautiful work
I love how easy you make it seem to turn almost any container into a terrarium. It's so cool. Its a mini version of what you might see in the real world.
i'm only at 5:37, just after the smoothing of the silicone: I've seen few people use a guitar pick that has been attached to a stick or a pen and it seems really handy for projects like this!
Good idea. They make whats called "spoons" for doing it. I always just use my fingers as it gives the best results. Finish with a moist paper towel for perfect caulk joints.
You're a true artist. I love your imagination and listening to your explanations of each step. Bravo!
Truly beautiful and functional art.
Tanner never fails to surprise us with his mind blowing and creative projects!
This is absolutely amazing! To be able to come up with this idea and envision the final product……you’ve mastered your craft!
You can hit the lower part of the jar with a matte varnish to remove reflexions, it will age the bottom of the glass for years in seconds :D
Beautiful,Amazing and Breathtaking 💛🧡💛🧡💛🧡💛
You should have a looped 24/7 stream of this with maybe enhanced water sfx. It would get millions of views from ppl looking for white noise, relaxation, screen savers
Absolutely love this one!! The moss really does give a great forced perspective sense of scale… one of my favorite projects yet!!
that looks absolutely awesome, I could sit and look at that for hours. fantastic..
Fantastic piece. The attention to detail and thought is superb. Thank you, great video.
this was fascinating to see it all come together and what a great end result! stunning!
*A CREATIVE ONE-OF-A-KIND ARTIFICIAL ATTRACTION, THAT'S SMALL AND PLEASING TO THE EYE!!* ... *WORTHY OF A FIRST PLACE PRIZE!*
I love water fountain's; as they impart peace and tranquility. Absolutely love this! 👍
Wow. Gorgeous!! Peaceful. I love it ❤️
I absolutely LOVE it!! I used to make terrariums when I was younger but haven’t made one in years! You make me want to start again!
This is so lovely! I wish I'd seen it before putting in my 4000 gallon pond and waterfalls, it would have been a whole lot less work and I could take it with me if I have to move. Thanks for putting it up for the public to enjoy.
never too late to make a mini version as a display piece!
Just beautiful! I could watch that for hours. Thanks for sharing!
it looks so cool and it was very pleasant to watch you put it all together. quite inspiring too.
Great! I've always wanted something like that with a bonsai tree in it!
