I’ve had a thing for planters this summer (see here and here for evidence). And the plants I have are actually still alive (!!!), which is amazing and fueling my plant love. This planter project is a fun one and you can’t mess it up. You can’t. I swear.
Who can’t use an herb garden?! And it’s so easy to make! Really, all you need are some mason jars and herbs and you’re on your way! I wanted something colorful that I’m excited to use every time I see them in their little spot by the window, so I added a little acrylic paint to the equation. I decided a tray would be helpful too so I can carry them all to the sink or to the kitchen counter to cut herbs I need for dinner. And brunch. And lunch. 😉 And dessert (because I couldn’t pass up lavender!).
Summer is here!! Yay! And that means I’m DIY-ing like crazy to get ready for the beautiful weather and spend as much time outside as possible. I have more projects lined up than I know what to do with, which means my apartment has been a craftaster lately (that’s a word, I know it)! I’m always on the lookout for projects that are fun and modern (and budget-friendly), and one of my favorite places to get ideas and look for supplies is Seattle Goodwill! My apartment is full of repurposed items from Goodwill and I’m a regular at the Ballard location–it’s my go-to spot for furniture, vintage dishes, books, linens, and clothes. So, naturally I was excited when they asked me to work with them to create a few ads that focus on easy DIY summer projects with thrifted items!!
I had 5 minutes to find as many items as I could to repurpose into summer garden and party projects for SPEED.I.Y–sort of like Supermarket Sweeps, thrifty style! I created five projects and the items I found are all things you can quickly find at Goodwill, so you can get in, get out, and enjoy your summer!
