For my project, I am working on making a stained glass terrarium. I am going to corporate the following elements, wood, glass, hinges, and glass paint.
Top 5 Specifications
- I want my terrarium’s aesthetic to take first priority. I think the look of it is what I want to focus on is most most valuable point.
- Secondly, I want to make it stable. If I am going to put plants in, it should be leakproof and easy to clean
- I want to make the designs of roof slanted
- I would like to add hinges to the terrarium if I have the time to
- I want to try and add lights if possible
Next, what are the top 5 constraints you face? Time, money, skills, supplies, ideas, room to work? Which ones will be the toughest to deal with?
Top 5 Constraints
- Finding the glass to fit the proportions I am looking for
- Acquire wood that works well with the structure
- Have all my wood pieces be similar sizes and type of wood
- Choose what method of wood cutting I want to try (machine cutting or laser cutting)
- Get all my work done in time

Hey Jessica! I love the project and aesthetic you are designing around!
I have a bunch of stained glass sheets that I do not need anymore if you are still looking! Not sure if they will be the right proportions but feel free to reach out on Slack if you are interested. I hope the rest of your project is going well!
Hello Jessica,
I agree that the project’s aesthetic must be prioritized. Although some pieces are functional, they will all be displayed in some way. I wonder if you could get some glass that is not being used for other projects in the engineering center and cut it. I am also having difficulty getting the work done on time, but I bet if you keep working at it, you will finish on time. Good luck!
Thanks for the advice Garrison! I’ll look into finding glass in the engineering center!
