Keys says it takes a little bit of patience (and gloves, and possibly a mounting piece) to get the hang of making a <a href="index.php?page=&url=http%3A%2F%2Fireport.cnn.com%2Fdocs%2FDOC-958666">light bulb terrarium</a>. Of the process itself, she writes: "Tap lightly with a screwdriver to break the glass holding the filament in place. Once the black glass is shattered, use tweezers or needle-nose pliers to pull the filament and glass mount outside of the light bulb. Then, pour in sand. Use chopsticks or tweezers to carefully maneuver the plants into the bulb."
