- Pencil
Instructions
DIY Project Instructions
-
Start by writing the names of the herbs onto the clothespins with a pencil.
-
Use the wood burning tool to go over your letters. The wood burning tool is literally like using a hot pencil. Don’t be intimidated! It is easy to use and you will love the results.
-
Take apart the clothespins.
-
Use the stain to go over the wood on all sides. Wipe away any excess with a rag.
-
Allow to dry completely then put the clothespins back together.
-
To start your herb garden, add a rustic wheel to a pot or a flower bed. You can give it a quick coat of spray paint in green. That is completely optional however.
-
Plant a different herb in each of the segments of your wheel. This will keep them separated easily while still being in a small pot or a small area of your garden.
-
Clip the markers you made above onto the wheel in the appropriate place.
-
Give this great herb garden to your mom this Mother’s Day.
