How cheap are we talkin? Do you have a budget in mind so far?

As cheap as possible

You can get a glass container you like at a thrift store or yard sale. You can technically use stones, dirt, and sticks from outside on your own any land or if you have permission from an owner. However, you will get wild bugs if you do that. Or if you already have potting soil, that works better if you don’t like bugs. If you go to a garden center, they often have a selection of terrarium plants that are very small and usually under $5 each. Hope that helps
