Herbs are easy to grow at home and it's a great way to add color and fresh herbs to your cooking.You can add them to almost any recipe.
Try this simple instructions of creating new containers for your herbs. What a great idea to have them on the windowsill close to place where you cook.
What you will need to make this project:
- Metal can ( I used food can)
- Herbs (pick whichever you use the most)
- Decorative paper
- PVA glue
- clear varnish
- brush
- scissors
- hammer/screwdriver or simply drill
Use drill or hammer and screwdriver to make holes in the can so if there is too much water it can come out
Cut your decorative paper to fit the shape of the container.
I found this herb design paper and I thought it will be perfect for this project

Ewa - where did you buy this paper? very nice and simple idea :)
Reyka, the paper came with some craft magazine, that I bought good few years ago, I didn't have an idea at that time how to use it, so it was in my draw for some time now, but that's why I like to keep my crafty bits, just in case they will come handy one day
Oh, I love those cute pots! And I really love the idea of having fresh herbs in the kitchen. Unfortunately my herbs always die on me! :-( I might have to try one more time though ... maybe I get lucky! :-)
I like the idea of fresh herbs and wonder how much light they need. Both my kitchen windows open onto screened in porches so no much light.
Those are cute! What a neat idea!!
Thanks for stopping by my blog, im now following back!!
Hello! Perfect idea! But... i have no idea what PVA Glue is... is it a special glue? We don't have (that firm? that kind?) in Greece. Can you tell me what is it? Thank you :)
These are super cute and are an amazing idea! I love that paper! I'll definatly be making a few herb cans of my own. Thanks :)
very very cool idea. i'm just thinking it's starting to get pretty cold outside for my herbs so this is a great options!
Great tutorial! Thanks! I featured you on my blog: http://aworldofcrafts.blogspot.com/2010/10/herbal-pots.html

Hi, This is really cute idea! Is that just a regular food can you have repurposed, or is it a brand new can? I was worried about the BPA's they say are in the canned foods. Any input? Thanks!
Joelle, it is just regural food can, washed and reused.
Yes, I agree it would be wonderful to have the herbs close to where you cook. Very nice tutorial here Ewa, I love the simplicity.
I always save my cans and never know what to do with them. I've been wanting to start an herb garden. I'm going to have to use my cans now!
Thanks for linking up::
