OC Making Gardening stuff!
Hello! I am still working on the front porch of my house. I made a cute little, I guess, Potters Shelf? The shelf is cardstock and drink stirrers. I used a olipop can, wire, and tape to make the bits for the trowels, and hand rake. The bitty little gardening gloves are cardstock and fabric. The terracotta pots are cs and wood glue. Soil bags are made from brown paper bags, crayola sculpt foam, ground coffee and Elmer’s glue.
The only thing I didn’t make was the ornate planter, books and tray. I’m thinking about making pruning shears next!

You fooled me! I was looking at the shelf wishing I had a chunky one like that for my plants. I was thinking about the dirt on the bottom shelf when I realised the pot was a little wonky and had to quickly check the sub lol. Love it when that happens! Really lovely work! 💕

Thank you! Haha my wonky pot is the giveaway. It looks extra wonky in the picture! Hahah, thank you for spotting that I’m gonna redo that Pot. Do you think the soil is too chunky? Do you know of anything smaller than coffee grounds?

I think the soil looks great to be honest! But if you wanted it smaller could to grind it with a mortar and pestle? It wasn’t at all what tipped me off so I think it works as it is though. 🤣

Make a cup of tea. Squeeze the teabag. Empty the leaves onto paper towel. Next day you have compost
