Material Selection and Preperation
If you do intend to eat the Herbs from the planter then choose a suitable material to make it from. I'm just making this more as a decoration so am just using some scrap wood from pallets etc. As with most of my projects i rip, cut, plane, thickness and glue my scrap wood in to more useable wood panels.
Cutting the Design
I've got a CNC so im gonna use this to cut out my design. But this could also be done with scroll saw, jig saw etc
Glue, Paint, Sand and Finish
I glue up the layers of the design, give everything a sand. and depending on the design I will highlight some dtails with paint and then add a clear varnish
Plant Your Seeds
Add some soil, seeds, and water. then wait for them to grow.
i used some lentil seeds and cotton wool to try and get them to grow quickly. and used the tinfoil to capture the water.
Finish
Here is the finished product. I will update the pictures once the plants start to grow in. ive got other ideas like this Mr Potato head but would love to see any your ideas.
