My DIY Aquarium Journey from Broken Glass to Beauty

---

My second entry. I always pay attention to my environment whenever a new theme is announced for the month. I like to observe what materials around me could be useful for a #creative #project. Finally, I discovered one on my way back from the #office, I noticed some #broken glass pieces at a shop where they cut and sell glass. I moved closer to take a look, and then an idea struck me. I could make an #aquarium. I approached the shop and bought some pieces of glass. I measured the sizes I wanted, and that was how the journey of my aquarium project began.

Materials Used

Glass pieces

4 minute gum for joining

Wax gum for sealing and preventing leakage

gravel

#Artificialflowers and leaves

Green #plasticbottle cut and shaped for decoration

Steps

I cut the pieces of glass into desired size and shape. I then used sandpaper to blunt the edges of the glasses to prevent injury on my hands

then I joined them together carefully using 4 minute gum to form a rectangular box to make the joints stronger. Then I used masking tape to support it till it dried

---

---

I used wax gum on the edges to prevent leakages before movng to another stage. I spread gravel at the bottom. I added some artificial leaves and flowers to make the look natural and lively

---

---

I used a green plastic bottle, cut and shaped to look like palm leaves, though it is one of my #projects, I attached it to the upper part of the box to serve as an attractive #decoration.

Finally, I cleaned the glass surface neatly and added water It looks beautiful.
