I've been dreaming about the herb garden for a while now. I collected quite a few formula cans over the pastΒ few months and wanted to find a good use for it so I made this HERB GARDEN FROM FORMULA CANS. I think it turned out so lovely! herb garden from formula cans

My daughter is playing with cans before they get painted

Materials:
  • Rust-Oleum Spray Paint in 4 colors.
  • Any box to shield the spray paint
  • Cans from HIPP formula
  • Soil
  • Drill bits for holes (or hammer and nail)
  • Herb seeds
How to make a herb garden from formula tins:

First I got rid of a sticker, covering the tin. I just let it sit under the water for 10 minutes and then it came off pretty easy.

Then I dried them and painted it with Rust-Oleum Spray paintΒ inΒ 4 colors - yellow, red, purple and blue. I got mine in the local hardware store and it was on sale "buy 2 for $5".

I used an old box as a shield to protect spray paint from getting everywhere.Β herb garden formula cansWhen the paint dried I drilled holes in the bottom. If you don't have a drill you can use just a hammer and a nail to punch the holes for water to go through.Β HERB GARDENAfter that, I filled them with soil. I used Potting mix by Miracle-Grow that I also got from our local hardware store.herb garden formula cansHERB GARDENΒ Then I planted seeds and watered it. I had to wait for over a week for seeds to come through. I planted dill, parsley, microgreens, thyme, rosemary, basil, and scallions. herb garden from formula cans

My daughter is helping me to water them every day. It's such a great way to learn how things grow and I can see her excitement to look at the herbs every day and see how they grow.

I found an old ladder and used it as a stand for the cans. I think I'll upgrade it and put the planks in the steps to fit more cans but it works fine for now.


xoxo,

April

We all love beautiful "before" and "after" room tr We all love beautiful "before" and "after" room transformations. But truth is... there is a lot of "work in progress" in between 😁 #diyroommakeover #diy #roomtransformation
Haha so here is a thing... I'm not sure how often Haha so here is a thing... I'm not sure how often you wash your hair, but I do it every 4-5 days. And my entire schedule depends on a "hair day"🀣

I'd never do a workout or a messy project if I just did my hair that morning😁 

Making videos every day with fresh hair is quite hard lol 

Now I'm trying out a new thing... I make "lifestyle", nice reels on my hair day and leave all messy projects for "not a hair day" πŸ™ˆπŸ˜

Can you relate? Or am I the only one?😁
