Remove the back of the picture frames and discard. Depending on the frame, you may have to glue the glass to the frame to hold it in place.
Use a hot glue gun to attach the four frames together for the base of the greenhouse. You'll probably have to hold the frames a few minutes while the glue sets. Leave the bottom open.

Use decorative reindeer moss to cover the joints of the greenhouse. Attach it using hot glue or craft glue. This covers imperfections and also gives the frames an organic feel.
