Putting It Together
Step 1:
Clean and polish all the glass panels with Methylated spirits.
Step 2:
Lay the front, back and side glass panels out flat and place strips of silicone along the edges where they meet.
Step 3:
Position them together to form a rectangular box shape and secure with masking tape.
Step 4:
Seal the inside seams of the box with more silicone. Wet your finger with water and drag it over the silicone edges to tidy them.
Step 5:
Remove any excess silicone and leave your box to dry for 48 hours.
Step 6:
Place strips of silicone around the edges of the final bottom panel that now needs to be attached to the box to form a base. Position the box on top of this panel and repeat Steps 1 to 5, allowing the silicone to dry for 48 hours.
Step 7:
Once your glass planter is secure and the silicone is dry, fill it up to two thirds from the top with pebbles and river sand.
Step 8:
Position your plants carefully, covering the surface of your planting with moss or small pebbles.
