Step 1
  • Make Wooden Frame
  • Lay out plastic sheet in work area.
  • Gather materials on plastic sheet in work area.

Ok. First step is to make the frame seen in the image above. Unfortunately at this point I didn't take shots of the making of this since I had already had made it a while ago. Effectively it is made by cutting two pieces of the 1/2"x1" board 6 1/2" long. Then I cut a piece at least 7" long and (in my case) nailed with 1" trim nails the 6 1/2" pieces about 7" apart so as to make a U shape. Then I cut a 10" piece of the same wood and sawed out two 3/8" (thickness of wood) slots roughly 7" apart to fit the top of the U. I carved the slots carefully so the two pieces would fit snugly in the notches to make the removable frame. Once you have materials the first step is to lay down the plastic sheet (mine is 2x3').
Also if you wish to purchase a Terrarium premade don't hesitate to e-mail me.
The cost will be approximately $0.20/inch**2 + shipping.
