Upcycling DIY: Trendy cans for your kitchen herbs
Project from Alex - 0 CommentsFresh herbs in the kitchen are a great thing to have on hand: They taste super, are healthy and look good on the plate as well as on the window sill — provided they have a chic home in an attractive pot. And that’s exactly what we’re after with this DIY upcycling project! Using the chic d-c-fix® Sage adhesive foil and the d-c-fix® chalkboard foil, conventional cans are converted into great pots for your fresh kitchen herbs. For even more eye-catching details, write the names of the herbs on the labels made of chalkboard foil, add your favorite sayings or mantras, or decorate them with small drawings!
- One roll of d-c-fix® Sage
- One roll of d-c-fix® Chalkboard foil
- d-c-fix® application kit with doctor blade and cutter
- Empty cans
- Measuring tape
- Pencil
- Scissors
- Potting soil
- Seedlings of kitchen herbs
Let’s go
Step 1
Remove the paper labels from the cans and clean the cans thoroughly.
Step 2
Now determine the circumference of the cans and draw the dimensions with an addition of approx. 1 cm to the circumference on the backing paper of the Sage foil.
Step 3
Then cut out the rectangles.
Step 4
To apply the foil, remove the backing paper to a certain extent, carefully place the foil on the can and then adhere it all around. Finally, use the doctor blade to firmly apply the foil.
Step 5
As a decorative finish, cut out small rectangles or other shapes of your choice from the chalkboard foil and place them on your new herb cans.
Step 6
Finally, fill the cans with potting soil and plant your herb seedlings.
You’re done!
