Entwined Planter For A Windowsil Herb Garden

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.

You Will Need (2 things)

  • Plastic Container
  • Twine

Steps (4 steps, 240 minutes)

  1. 1

    I used robust Beacon 527, which I let dry over night, for the initial twine-to-plastic connection.

    For the one I did I used ordinary clear tape to hold the end in place.

  2. 2

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

    NOTE: I found it worked better to do two or three rows and then let them dry before adding more. So I'd do one container over the course of a couple of days.

  3. 3

    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!

  4. 4

    I sealed it with my beloved ModPodge.

    A simple technique but one with possibilities!
