DIY Burlap & Bunting Fresh Herb Pots

I wanted some fresh herbs on my window sill

{to use when I actually cook}

but I didn't want boring old pots.

So I jazzed up some simple terracotta pots!

Here is what you need:

• 3 Terracotta pots
• Burlap 
• Coordinating fabric
• Fabric Glue
• Scissors
• Colored Twine
• Herb kit {I got mine at the Dollar Store}
• Herb Marker :)

I started by cutting a strip of burlap to fit around my pot.
Then I glued it to the pot with fabric glue.
{I did this to two 4" pots}

I cut a strip of pretty yellow fabric to fit around my 3rd pot.
I cut Aqua twine to use as the bunting & tie around my pot.
I cut 4 diamond shapes using my fabric to make the flags.

Then I folded the diamonds around the twine & glued them together.
I tied the bunting around the pot.
I did this for 2 of my 3 pots.

Then I glued the fabric strip I cut out and glued it to the 3rd pot.

I let them dry overnight and then filled them with the potting soil, planted the seeds & added my cute "fresh herbs" garden marker!

So fun & Easy! 

I can't wait until my herbs start growing!

Here is what I planted :

•  Sweet Basil {great in salad, soup or with Veggies}
• Oregano {Adds zest to tomatoes, green beans & soups}
• Parsley {gives veggies, salads & soups a peppery flavor}
• Sage {often used with chicken & pork}
• Thyme {Enhances flavor of soup, fish, chicken & meatloaf}
• Cilantro {Adds flavor to stir-fry, soups & stews}

I will be linking up to these great parties!
