What You Will Need
- Pint mason jars
- Rocks
- Cricut Outdoor Vinyl in the color of your choice
- Downloadable herb marker file
- Cricut Machine I used my Cricut Maker but you can use any of the Cricut line up for this project.
- Transfer tape
- Weeding tools optional
- Potting soil
- Herb seeds or plants
Instructions
- Download the free file and upload to Cricut Design Space.
- Cut the words you need from outdoor vinyl. My recommendation is to use outdoor vinyl if you are using these indoors or out. This will help these to last a long time even when exposed to moisture.
- Clean your jars well (using rubbing alcohol is an easy way to do this).
- Then weed any excess vinyl from your labels and apply it to the jars with transfer tape. I like adding the words vertically but you can add them however you would like.
- Add rocks to the bottom of your jars for drainage then add in soil. You can then use these to start seeds or add in plants if you wish.
