Entwined Planter For A Windowsil Herb Garden

Because a ledge full of yogurt containers would be tacky!

Here is the beginning of our tiny, window-sill, year-round herb garden. Technically, these should have little drain holes in the bottom. They don't. I haven't had a problem with this, but you'll want to avoid overwatering. This tutorial was originally posted on my blog "Painting on the Ceiling." Enjoy!

Description

Here is the beginning of our tiny, window-sill, year-round herb garden. Technically, these should have little drain holes in the bottom. They don't. I haven't had a problem with this, but you'll want to avoid overwatering. This tutorial was originally posted on my blog "Painting on the Ceiling." Enjoy!

Instructions

  1. Small p1070685

    I used robust Beacon 527, which I let dry over night, for the initial twine-to-plastic connection. For the one I did I used ordinary clear tape to hold the end in place.

    After that, it was Elmer’s all the way until the very end, at which point I used the Beacon 527 again. NOTE: I found it worked better to do two or three rows and then let them dry before adding more. So I'd do one container over the course of a couple of days.

    I had to push each additional strand up tight against its neighbor, but I still had some white peeking through. Oh, well. It’s still less tacky than un-adorned yogurt containers!

    I sealed it with my beloved ModPodge. A simple technique but one with possibilities!
