DIY Instructions
Follow these simple steps to craft personalized decor for weddings, baby showers, date nights, home, office, and more:
- Select Your Plant:
- Choose a favorite artificial plant or floral stem (e.g., a small succulent, rose, or seasonal foliage like autumn leaves). Ensure the stem is sturdy and fits the diameter of the TeriBloom™ Plant Insert Cap.
- Trim the Stem:
- Using wire cutters or sharp scissors, cut the stem approximately 1 inch from the base to fit securely into the TeriBloom™ Cap. Remove any unwanted excess for a clean fit.
- Prepare the TeriBloom™ Cap:
- Insert a TeriBond™ Craft Glue stick into any temperature hot glue gun (standard 0.27” size). Allow the gun to heat up fully (follow the glue gun’s instructions).
- Carefully inject the melted glue into the TeriBloom™ Cap, filling it about three-quarters full to leave space for the stem. Caution: The glue will be very hot - handle with care to avoid burns.
- Attach the Stem:
- Quickly insert the cut stem into the glue-filled TeriBloom™ Cap, pressing gently to ensure a secure fit. Hold for 10–15 seconds to stabilize.
- Wipe away any excess glue with a cloth or tissue while it’s still warm. Caution: Avoid touching hot glue directly to prevent burns.
- Let It Set:
- Place the assembled cap and stem upright in a safe, stable location. Allow it to cure for 15 minutes to ensure the TeriBond™ Craft Glue fully bonds the stem to the cap.
- Insert into the Jar:
- Once cured, push the TeriBloom™ Cap with the attached stem into the lid of the Tericota decorative plant jar. The cap’s design, featuring a dual-layer Tericota™ fitting sticker, ensures a snug, secure fit, creating a polished centerpiece or accent piece. If the fit feels too tight, the fitting sticker can be removed for easier insertion.
- Customize and Enjoy:
- Fill the jar with small event items for you wedding, baby showers, or event, or simply use it at home for pet treats or small office supplies.
- Swap inserts seasonally - try spring blooms, summer herbs, or winter pines and more to create new inserts by repeating these steps with different plants or materials!
Safety Tips:
- Always use the hot glue gun on a heat-resistant surface and keep it away from children.
- Wear protective gloves if handling hot glue frequently to avoid burns.
- Ensure proper ventilation when working with hot glue to avoid inhaling fumes.
