MY PROJECT

DIY Herb Pots! These look so easy and are not only cute but practical. designdininganddiapers.com

Michael’s has put together some fabulous projects for us to make. Seriously, I spent almost 2 hours looking through everything in the store! Today, I’m giving you a peek at one of the projects that I made and one that you can make too!

We cook a lot in my family and my husband has been asking for a small herb garden for a long time. Well, I finally did it!

I actually learned a lot about herbs during this project. Like the ones I potted are actually outdoor herbs and I have to wait for indoor ones to come in later this season. So sadly, my pots will have to be moved outside once the temps warm up.

Chives! What a cute little DIY Pot!

But aren’t they just so cute?

All of my supplies were purchased on one of the end caps at Michaels (except for the herbs, of course).

Herb Pot Supplies

Here’s what you need:

– 3 Terracotta Pots

– 3 saucers

– White Multi-Surface Paint

– Foam Brush

– Oval Chalkboard Labels

– 100 Grit Sand Paper

– Birch Rounds (optional)

Painting Pots

I started by painting the pots with the white paint. They needed a solid two coats! But thankfully the paint dries fast.

Then, I wrote out my chalkboard labels and adhered them to the pots.

I put the labels onto the pots and lightly distressed the edges for a more rustic vintage look.

Lastly, I potted chives, parsley and oregano and placed them on birch rounds for fun. I kind of fell in love with Michaels huge birch section and I HAD to buy something!

I’ve got a few other projects up my sleeve too! Here are some other ideas from Michaels. I can’t wait to see YOUR spin on them at the party!

    I love the herb pots! I’m a bit of a home gardener, but I don’t think I’ll be able to have my garden this year due to spacing issues. These are perfect for me to still get a little bit of gardening in. Thanks for sharing! Pinned! ~Lisa

    Love these. I just painted some pots myself. They were going to be for herbs, but then I heard the paint can leech toxins into the soil, so I switched up to succulents. I also sealed mine with a coat of Mod Podge, but now I’m wondering whether that was necessary. How did you get on with yours Taryn?

June recap! Not as many projects happened, but I’ve been enjoying summer life with the kids and making memories. 

My trip back to Seattle was so needed and refreshing. Summer in Seattle is unmatched.

We took our first family trip to Possum Kingdom Lake in Texas and we all fell in love. 

The kids finished up summer baseball, summer track and now we get a little break before football and fall sports.
