Because a ledge full of yogurt containers would be tacky!
Here is the beginning of our tiny, window-sill, year-round herb garden.

Technically, these should have little drain holes in the bottom. They don't. I haven't had a problem with this, but you'll want to avoid overwatering.

This tutorial was originally posted on my blog "Painting on the Ceiling." Enjoy!

  • How to make a vase, pot or planter. Entwined Planter For A Windowsil Herb Garden - Step 1

    After that, it was Elmer’s all the way until the very end, at which point I used the Beacon 527 again.

    I had to push each additional strand up tight against its neighbor, but I still had some white peeking through. Oh, well. It’s still less tacky than un-adorned yogurt containers!
