I have a unique request...

[DoodleBirdTerrariums]

I am looking for some help and suggestions; I need help brainstorming. Here is what I would like to do: I would like to expand my shop and the items I offer for sale. But because the terrariums and miniatures I make are so very time consuming I am looking for something creative yet very easy to make or assemble. Like quick and easy shop fillers, yet they have to be things that go with the general theme of my shop which is "nature", "plants", and "garden".
I recently added a terrarium kit that includes tools and an instruction booklet. I like that idea because it is very easy to put together and not time consuming yet fits my shop well.

But I am looking to expand. I need help thinking outside the box. Maybe there is something that would fit well that I am not even thinking of. That is why I'm asking for help. Any and all suggestions are welcome...no suggestion will be too simple. I am hitting a creative roadblock here.

Thank you all in advance!

What about selling air plants as singular items or in sets of 3 or 4?

What about a container of rocks? Too simple?

[WrapItSnapIt]

Perhaps something with dried leaves, painted rocks or wood, or shell jewelry?
You could try looking up nature crafts for ideas.

I like the DIY kit idea too for people who like to make stuff and it makes a great gift.

Your shop is so cute! I don't know it it would be 'faster' but I've seen the terrariums in a shadowbox on the wall - those are pretty cool!
You have lots of great stuff, my only real suggestion is to keep collecting unique items or make unique items to create fun landscapes in! Goodluck!

Tiny clay pots?

[Purl1VintageToo]

Seeds of some kind? Other shops on etsy sell seeds in little packets, or several types of seeds in a set? (to go with tiny clay pots?)

[BayouGlassArts]

Herbs, dried herbs, sache' maybe?

Oh you guys are AWESOME! I love these ideas!!!

I personally really like your black crows. Garden decor is a big search term on Etsy. I see you do centerpieces for wedding. If you offer a customized couple (like the one on the bench) you could charge more for the miniature.

I agree with the idea of rocks. What about tiny bridges? Love the little houses, what about barns? Gnomes. What about zombies? A living dead theme. There is a shop on Etsy that sells zombie in a bottle maybe you could work with her. Little skeletons. Wow I sound very dark! Mini boom box, high top sneakers, 80's theme. Eiffel tower. Little dogs. Wow so many options in mini. Good luck and love you cute shop.

You could add more supplies to your DIY section. Maybe sell individual small things that people could use in their terrariums.

[SheEarth]

You could list stones and other ornaments as single pieces for people to add to their terrariums, items that you would already be using that way you do not need to carry additional types of items as well.

I am taking a class on making miniature fairy gardens soon. Maybe you could come up with something like that in a kit. Love Love Love your shop!

Pretty little wooden sticks to write plant names on?

[Former_Member]

I really think that supplies are the sort of thing you could add easily and you already have a lot of the contacts you'd need to source them.
Any sort of miniature item would be fantastic, and bring in a whole new kind of customer to be exposed to your wonderful finished creations :)

Apothecary jar terrariums?

[Former_Member]

I like Amy's idea of miniature plant markers. How cute would those be. You could even make them look like direction signs with an arrow pointing towards the plant. :)

[AdamRabbit]

Love your shop, some sort of hanging air plants would be really cool!

[RedOakImages]

I absolutely LOVE your shop!! You have some very unique items! I just made myself my own moss terrarium this past weekend!

[NeatoKeen]

How about photo note cards (singles or sets) of your creations? Your photography is absolutely stunning! What kind of camera do you use?

[Former_Member]

what about selling kits? I mean, "make your own terrarium" and you send different group of seeds, so you can sell kit1, kit2, kit3, all including different type of plants.
You can also make a terrarium with carnivorous plants, or orchids...

Hope this helps!!

Love these ideas! I am working on putting a lot of these in my shop! Thank you all so much. xoxo
