Make a mini greenhouse?

Is it possible to make a small greenhouse for two of my carnivorous plants with household materials? I want it small like the size of a shoe box. If yes, how do you make it?

Make a mini greenhouse?
It doesn't have to be fancy. It's just a way of holding heat and moisture in, while allowing light in as well. plastic, glass, anything see-through.





Bend stiff wire (or pieces of clothes hangers) over a container the size you want - that you have transplanted you plants into - and then cover with plastic sheeting, like the stuff you winterize your windows with.





Voila!!
Reply:All you need is a container the size you need. A plastic tub or wooden one with a clear plastic top. A green house is a place that is covered and you can control the environment with in it. When the word green house is mentioned every one thinks of a building. That is not accurate.
Reply:It's pretty easy to make a mini greenhouse, all you need is a cardboard box with the top cut out and put the plants inside, then on top where the opening is tape clear plastic to make cover it so it'll keep the heat in. Instead of cardboard box, try to use like a plastic tub or something because cardboard will get soggy when it gets wet, and do the same wrap with plastic around. I have made temporary greenhouses by placing a plastic bag over the plant and putting some sticks inside to support the bag and it works great for some time too. Good luck with it.
