It’s time for this month’s Michael’s Makers project. A few weeks ago we received a box of fun products. A sneak peek of the brand new Raw Bar line that will be out in Michaels stores on August 8th. The whole line is inspired by nature so there’s a lot of burlap, cork, chalk board, wood, metal and canvas. Pretty much all of our favorite things to work with!
We decided that the galvanized metal bin would be the perfect container to hold a sweet little herb garden that we could keep right in the kitchen.
SUPPLIES:
• Galvanized Metal Bin with Chalkboard Front
• Wood Spools
• Pint Mason Jars
• Wood Skewers or Dowels
• Hot Glue Gun and Glue
• Herbs
• Rocks
• Scrapbook Paper
• Sharpie
STEPS:
• Fill the bottom of the jars with rocks or pebbles to help with drainage. Then add your herbs.
• To make your plant markers cut a piece of scrapbook paper about 1/2″ x 5″.
• Write the name of the herb on it and wrap it around the spool. Adhere with a little hot glue
• Our skewers were a little smaller than the hole in the spools so we used hot glue around the bottom of the spool to hold it in place.
We decided to leave the metal rings on the Mason Jars because it looks so cute with the metal bin! So make sure to screw those on before you get started. 🙂

This is so precious. But my Thai basil is far too large to fit in a small jar. This is perfect for new herbs that haven't grown too big yet. :] // itsCarmen.com ☼
Very sweet
Ahh! SO. STINKING. CUTE!!! 😀
I'm actually doing this! But just a little advice… after going to buy herbs at a local grower where I live they suggested buying a glass bit and drilling a few holes in the bottom of the mason jars because otherwise there really is no way for water to get out and eventually the roots will rot and the plants will die.
Hi Holly… thank you for sharing this bit of information. That is good to know. 🙂
How did you have the plant growiing through the metal lids? Did you have to cut a hole out on the top of the lids.
I would like to do this so please email me back.
Thanks!
They are canning lids, so the ring and the top are two pieces so we just removed the top. 🙂
Small and sweat idea for plant identification. I loved this idea as its not very time consuming. Thanks for sharing 🙂
Perfect for Giving your new seedlings to someone for a gift, so cute a gift,
