Hi, everyone! It's me, Kate.
Do you also like to use fine herbs for cooking?
So how about having your very own herb garden in your kitchen?
Today I'm going to show you how to grow fresh herbs by recycling old jars in glass.
And don't worry, it's very easy to do! Watch:
- 1 old wooden board
- 3 aromatic herb plants
- 3 glass jars
- 3 stainless steel clamps
- 2 hooks and 1 frame hook
- iron wire
- slate effect paint + 1 brush
- masking tape
- chalk
- pencil
- hammer, nails and screwdriver
1. Place the jars at regular intervals on the wooden board.
2. With the pencil, trace the outline of the jars to clearly mark their location on the board.
3. Stick the masking tape on the board, so as to make rectangles for the location of the labels.
4. Paint the rectangles with the slate effect paint, as in the photo above.
5. Secure the clamps to the wooden board, driving a nail through the small holes in the clamp.
6. At the back of the board, nail the two frame hangers and stretch wire between them.
7. Plant aromatic herbs in the glass jars.
8. Put the jars in the clamps and tighten them with the screwdriver.
9. Nail the frame hook to a wall in your kitchen and hang your beautiful herb display!
There you go, you've turned your glass jars into a herb garden :-)
Easy, fast and efficient, don't you think?
Now you can cook with ultra-fresh herbs, just in time for the arrival of guests!
Thanks to the slate effect paint, you can also change the labels every time you grow new fine herbs.
For a trendy effect, you can also paint the clamps with gold paint, like this one.
Instead of placing them sideways, you can also place the jars horizontally. Watch:
You can easily find glass jars in the supermarket or even here on the Internet.
You can also find them at flea markets and garage sales, where you often get rid of old jars that are perfect for growing aromatic herbs!
Or even better, you can simply recycle your old glass jars. To easily remove remnants of an adhesive label from a jar, click here.
