Attaching the Elements to the Background

I decided to retreat back to a previous method I had experimented with, as well as a previous material/string. Where tying the string around the glass in this way was the most secure, I experimented and secured it further by multiplying the amount of times I completed the wrapping process, even with the thinner string. I decided to turn the glass jars on their side and continue to wrap the string in this way, even if it does cross over the front 'entrance' and prohibits the plants a little - I used the thinner string because of this and to limit any prohibitions as much as possible. I started by half filling the jars, tying them as necessary and then continuing to place the 'plants' within them. As can be seen in the first image on the second row of photographs, the glass started by tipping forward a little due to its weight - simply tightening the string prevented this from happening further.
Where I limited myself with the amount of glass jars I had to use, I continued to attach and reattach different types of plants and various visual options to my installation, by simply tying and securing them to the back. As seen within the photographs, the string I thought might prohibited the plants can barely be seen, nor does it seem it would effect the condition of plants to grow within. The photographs below are taken from various different heights and angles in order to really showcase the attachment of each element to the netted back of the small-scale installation.
