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!
Have a great day and thanks for stopping by!
