INKLING: A Colorful DIY Herb Pot

Lifestyle Crafts Herb Pot via homework - carolynshomework (11)The hardest part about being on the Lifestyle Crafts Studio Design Team is deciding what to make. Not because I can’t think of something but because there are so many goodies to share with you. This month, I made something super easy but still fun and cheerful.

I used several different patterns of paper so that each letter would be in a different color and pattern. You can use the Quick Stik tool to easily pick up the letters you want to use. This tool has a ballpoint pen-like tip but is sticky so you can pick up little bits and pieces.

Tape a straight line on your pot so you can apply your letters evenly.

Use a small paint brush to apply glue or Mod Podge to the back side of your letters. Adhere them to your pot.

Two or three seedlings survived and I carefully transplanted one of the seedlings from this large pot into my new bright and cheerful basil pot.
