Lady glues thrifted glass picture frames into a house shape. I can't believe how good this looks in the living room.

Transforming thrifted glass picture frames into a chic tabletop greenhouse is a creative way to add a touch of greenery and elegance to your living space. This DIY project not only repurposes old materials but also offers a unique opportunity to showcase your plants in style. Perfect for plant enthusiasts and interior design lovers, this project merges sustainability with home decor, making it an attractive and environmentally friendly addition to your home.

This DIY tabletop greenhouse can be styled on a coffee table, side table, or even on a windowsill.

Use it as a centerpiece, surrounded by small potted plants or books, to create a cohesive and lively vignette.

6 thrifted glass picture frames of the same size (8x10 inches recommended)

Remove the backings and any inserts from the picture frames, leaving only the glass and frame.

Arrange four frames vertically to form a rectangular shape, securing the edges with epoxy or glass adhesive. Hold them in place until the adhesive sets.

Use the remaining two frames to form the roof. If you want an opening roof, attach the frames using small hinges on one side. Otherwise, glue them together at an angle to form a peak.

Once the roof is assembled, attach it to the top of the rectangular structure with the adhesive.

Apply a clear waterproof sealant to all joints to ensure the greenhouse is watertight.

Allow the entire structure to dry completely before placing plants inside.

For a more colorful version, consider painting the frames before assembly. Use metallic spray paint for a glamorous touch or pastel colors for a softer look. You can also experiment with different sizes and shapes of frames to create a more eclectic design. Additionally, consider adding small LED string lights inside for a cozy, illuminated effect in the evenings. If you prefer a more permanent structure, replace adhesive with screws and brackets for added sturdiness.
