Dollar Store Frame Terrarium

Make mini glass terrariums with a few dollar store frames! Perfect for a kitchen herb garden or your starter plants.
I'm constantly "borrowing" sprigs of plants in my neighborhood to root for my garden. These little terrariums were the perfect little environment to keep them moist.
Watch how to make them here!
I used E-6000 because it's waterproof AND won't fall apart in the heat like hot glue can. I also got my laser cut frame at the 99c store but you could make a lattice with popsicle sticks or chopsticks. Even use a little bit of screen. Up to you.
Make sure that all of your frames are the same size.
Suggested materials:
  • Dollar store frames   (99c store)
  • E-6000 Glue   (Amazon.com)

    Where are instructions to make these? I can probably come up with something but your ideas would help. Thank you!

    It appears that you glue it shoot so how do you get plants in and out of this terrarium?

    Love this! I have no idea why I don't have a terrarium, but now there's no excuse! I think it might be fun to try different colours of paint.
