Miniature Bag End Terrarium: The Hobbits Downsize

Bilbo and Frodo are small enough as it is, but if they were even smaller they could live in this 10-inch-tall terrarium version of Bag End by FaceoftheEarth. This highly detailed, hand-sculpted house was made from reference shots from the movies. Adding even more realism is a living ecosystem of moss harvested from forests by its creator.

If you care for it properly, you can keep your terrarium healthy and green and thriving for a long time. This is a good thing, because this miniature hovel will cost you $375(USD). Luckily the seller provides some care instructions with your purchase.

You could probably find or make some tiny hobbit figures to finish things off.

Bag End Made from Balloons

Just the other day we told you about the homemade Hobbit Doll House that one Tolkien fan made, now we have Bag End made from balloons. Geeks are going Hobbit crazy.

Jeremy Telford, of The Balloon Guys, spent 40 hours on this version of Bilbo Baggins’ home. He didn’t use a doll house. He used his living room and turned it into a nice hobbit home, using 2,600 balloons. Check out the time-lapse video below.

I’m assuming that he doesn’t have any cats and that he forbids any sharp objects from entering his home. He did a nice job, but I’m sure the room shrinks a bit each day as those balloons lose air.
