hellllllllo lovelies!
How about this for just about the easiest craft ever?
If you consider yourself a bit on the un-crafty side,
well, girl, is this one for you.
(Sister-in-law Jen, I am speaking to you here!)
(Bonus! -it’s educational! -teach the future chefs of the world (your kids) which herb is which!)
Just drink a bottle or five of vino, save the corks and write the names of your herbs on them with a Sharpie, then push wooden skewers into them and…
VOILA!
you have fun herb makers!
I was inspired by Rene of Cottage & Vine to make an herb tower. Check out Rene’s fabulous tower here!
With that in mind I bought these two shiny green pots, but once they were filled with gravel (to help with draining) and potting soil and I stacked them, I realized there was not enough room in the perimeter of the bottom pot for several herbs. The smaller pot should have been even smaller.
(By the way New England friends: Ocean State Job Lot has a gorgeous selection of glazed pots in beautiful colors!)
My basil is trying to take over this little section of the deck, bossy boots that she is. I can’t wait to make some pesto when this gets a bit bigger.
This is just one more delightful idea I garnered from Pinterest {the original source of this great idea is the the blog My Chic Life – thank you for the inspiration!}. If you’re interested in upcycling your wine corks, check out my board of cork creativity. I have saved corks for years and am looking forward to making wine cork trays with my neighbor sometime this summer. Or maybe not. I might be all crafted out after this major (5-minute) undertaking! 🙂 See – it’s a craft for even the uncrafty! But speaking of corks, did you know they’re flammable? It’s always good to be mindful of fire safety when crafting. If you want to learn how to better protect your home, check out Fire Damage 101 for some useful tips!
Have a great day and thanks for stopping by!
