  • This is the 1 1/2" End for a narrow planter. One Narrow Planter with two ends = four pieces of 1 1/2" trim. You will also need 2 pieces 1" for the ends of the small planter

  • Glue the trim to the panels (the panels for the Bottoms don't get trim). A couple of dots of glue is enough... more glue will make the trim warp before the glue dries

  • Press the trim on the panel

  • Six 2 1/2" panels get trim on the top and bottom; two 1 1/2" panels get trim on the top and bottom; two each of the 1" tall panels get trim on the top edge only
