That framework had solidified within about an hour, and was completely dry within 12. I didnвЂ™t have a blueprint I started by making walls using 5Г—7-inch pieces of glass, siliconing a clean seal at the edges. My idea was to create a cozy glass home for my favorite mosses and succulents, and as I began to build it, a small glass house formed.В I excitedly made two small purchases for this project: 1) a glass cutter, something IвЂ™ve been wanting and could probably have used on several occasions already and 2) silicon gel, which is basically a clear, flexible glue thatвЂ™s not messy and very easy to work with. IвЂ™ve collected picture frames for as long as I can remember, but over time, the frames have broken, been ignored, and retired, leaving me with lots (really, lots) of glass panes in a variety of sizes.

IвЂ™m not sure if this will actually become a terrarium (it might end up being a candle holder centerpiece now that IвЂ™m seeing it come together and writing this post) but hereвЂ™s an effort in using extra glass panes to create something different for the home. You can find me writing for HGTV and DIY Network, follow me on facebook and instagram, or drop me a note if you'd like. I'm a home improvement enthusiast, living a very merry DIY lifestyle.
