2. Mini Indoor Garden: Rustic Planters with Personality
What You’ll Need:
- Old clay bottles (various sizes work beautifully)
- Small succulents or herbs
- Potting soil
- Pebbles or activated charcoal (for drainage)
- Optional: Paints, mosaic tiles, or twine for decoration
How To:
- Prep Your Bottle: If the bottle’s opening is narrow, use tools to carefully widen it or select small plants that fit.
- Drainage Base: Fill the bottom with a layer of pebbles or activated charcoal to prevent root rot.
- Planting: Add potting soil and gently plant your succulents or herbs. Water sparingly.
- Decorate: Paint fun patterns, wrap with twine for a boho feel, or glue small mosaic tiles for a Mediterranean touch.
- Display: Group a few together on a windowsill, bookshelf, or kitchen counter for an instant nature-meets-art vibe.
Bonus Idea: Use these planters as table centerpieces at eco-friendly weddings or dinner parties.
