🎉 DIY Herb Planters – A Fun & Fresh Step-by-Step Guide 🌿✨

Add some life (and basil!) to your space with this super simple, super cute herb planter project. Perfect for spring refresh vibes or summer kitchen magic!

🛠️ What You’ll Need

Empty cans (any size – soup, beans, whatever you’ve got!)

Dish soap + water (for a good scrub)

Paint (acrylic or spray paint – go bold or pastel!)

Paintbrushes or sponge brushes

Washi tape (fun patterns = major vibes)

Potting soil

Herb seedlings (basil & mint = classic, but go wild!)

Labels or craft sticks (for naming your green babies)

A marker or pen (make it cute!)

✨ Optional Fun Add-ons:

Glue, stickers, twine – go full crafty if you’re feeling it

Steps

1. Scrub-a-dub those cans 🧽
Give your empty cans a good clean with water and a splash of cleaning spray. Peel off those boring labels and let them dry completely – we're about to glam them up!

2. Paint party! 🎨
Pick your favorite colors (pastels? neons? go wild!) and paint the outside of each can. Let them dry while you plan your washi tape masterpiece.

3. Tape it till you make it ✂️
Wrap your painted cans with washi tape in cute patterns and bold prints. This is your moment to shine – mix, match, and make it festive!

4. Get your hands dirty 🌱
Fill each can with potting soil, leaving a bit of room at the top. Pro tip: use a spoon if you're going for "neat gardener" aesthetic.

5. Plant the goodies 🌿
Pop in your herb seedlings – basil and mint are our faves for that fresh kitchen magic. Gently press them in and water like a plant parent pro.

6. Label like a legend 🏷️
Craft or stick on some cute labels so you always know who’s who in your mini garden. Bonus points for hand-lettering!

✨ Done and planted! Now place them on your windowsill, balcony, or even your desk – and enjoy a little herb happiness every day.
