Summer is ending, but there is no need to sacrifice fresh herbs all winter. Let's make some cute pots for our windowsills...and let's label them with chalk! Come on, that's cute, man!
Easiest tutorial ever today...ready?
Place an ordinary terra cotta pot upside down:
Spray with two coats of Blackboard Paint:
After 24 hours prep the surface by rubbing chalk over the whole surface then wiping it off:
Now you can write on it! See this pot I made for windowsill Basil?
Don't have Windowsill Basil? Don't buy it! Better check back on Wednesday!
I saw these pots online for $46 for a set of 6...my cost? Less than $2 apiece! Woot!
Do you have a tutorial for me? Well, tomorrow is Tutorial Tuesday, grab a button and meet me here around 10 pm tonight!
