Showing the steps of creating an IKEA Rudsta glass door cabinet into a bioactive terrarium. This was a project I’ve wanted to create for years and have worked my way up to creating something this size. I love how it turned out and I’m so excited to show the progress as it grows. I have linked every item I used down below and I hope this helps with your own future build.
