How to Make a Green House Terrarium Using Picture Frames
Say What?! Yes, I made this green house terrarium out of picture frames I bought at the dollar store, hot glue, and white duct tape.
I bought 8 lightweight picture frames; two 8X10's, two 5X7's, and four 4X6's.
I removed the glass and backing of the frames, and then spray painted them on both sides with Rustoleum semi-glass spray paint.
I then hot glued the glass back into place, and began constructing the greenhouse.
To create the roof, I glued the 4 X 6's to each other lengthwise. I then used white duct tape and Not hot glue on the center line. The duct tape will create a flexible edge which will allow for the roof top to fold over.
Lastly I hot glued the roof top to the box frame.
I placed a few little plants inside and placed it next to a sunny window.

Frequently asked questions
Have a question about this project?
When I was trying to put this together I had a problem with the 8×10 and 5×7 there was a gap on both sides of about an inch that didn't meet up. How do I fix this? I have all the same picture frames and they are all light wight as well. Please help me with this problem. Thank you in advance.
