DIY: Gardening polka dot bottles
EN
In my latest peek into my
(gardening) life post I’ve posted a picture of my sprouting basils at my window,
potted in a used herb/pepper glass shakers. It’s officially Spring and every
time with Spring I want to grow crops and flowers, even though I don’t really
have talented green hands.
Anyway, let’s focus on the glass shakers because they are the DIY for today. Since these shakers are labelled and the longer I look at them the more eyesores these labels are, me and my brilliant brain (cough) come up with a nice make over with just stickers!
Once you’ve pretty up your
glass shakers, you want to have it filled with greens right? Why not basil? I
love basil and I add them to a lot of food and they are really easy to
re-grow and sprout! Talking about saving money and the planet huh? Want to save more money
on greens by just re-growing, check this out – it is pretty amazing. I
already did it with spring onions here.

In mijn een van mijn
laatste posts heb ik een foto geplaatst van mijn basilicum in gebruikte
glazen kruidenpotjes en strooiers. Het is officieel lente en ook al heb ik niet
echt groene handen, ik wil met iedere lente weer gewasjes en bloemen en
andere groene dingen verbouwen binnenshuis. De AH moestuintjes zijn daarom oh
zo leuk!
Hoe dan ook, laten we
focussen op de glazen kruiden strooiers, omdat dit de DIY voor vandaag zijn. Omdat
deze potjes gelabeld zijn en hoe langer ik naar ze kijk hoe meer een door in
het oog zijn. Dit moet eraf en moet mooier dachten ik en mijn briljante brein
(kuch) en daarom zijn we op een simpele en leuke make-over gekomen met
slechts stickers!
Wanneer je de potjes
opgeleukt hebt wil je ze natuurlijk vullen met iets groens, toch?
Waarom niet basilicum? Ik
hou van basilicum en voeg ze dan ook graag aan een heleboel gerechten toe én
ze zijn daarnaast ook makkelijk om opnieuw te groeien en te ontkiemen! Over
geld besparen gesproken! Wil je nog meer geld besparen op andere hergroeibare
groentes, dan moet je dit checken! Zo deed ik het eerder met lente-uitjes.

Instruction:
1. Wash and rinse the glass bottles well and remove the labels by soaking them in a water bath.
2. Dry and whip off the bottles and now you may start sticking the stickers on the bottles!
DONE!
How to re-grow basil
- Cut a long healthy bushy stem off with a knife/scissor.
- Remove the side and top mini leaves.
- Place them in a jar with water, room temperature and wait for about a week to see the first signs of roots!
I love this diy; the fact that you're using spice jars! Plus this set of photos is love love love!
ReplyDeleteSo cute and simple! Thanks for sharing that link too -- I tend to have a brown thumb and my plants usually end up looking pretty sad :( But that article gives me hope to try again!
ReplyDeleteLeuk idee!!! Nu ga ik potjes sparen :) xx
ReplyDeleteyou're such a creative genius ! this is adorable !
ReplyDeleteOooooh, super cute idea! I love that the plants can stay up due to the small holes in the shakers, though I haven't found any similar to the ones you have yet ;-; And who knew polka dots were so easy to do - I thought they came on the shakers at first!

Aww, omg, this is such a cute idea! I've always wanted to grow my own herbs~ Btw, I don't know if you've heard this somewhere as well, but I read somewhere that if you slather peanut butter on sticky stuff, it helps the sticky thing come off!
