Looking for a creative Mother's Day Gift? This DIY Lighted Indoor Herb Garden will brighten any room. Make this with a tray or box and LED mini lights. These LED mini lights are made with copper wire that wraps easily around these dowel posts and holds their shape without sagging. Add a fairy garden or bird houses to finish. I added bird houses painted by my kids to add a personal touch. You can make this for your wife or mom and decorate with your kids art too.
Follow the link below for full details.
What you’ll need:
- 1 tray large enough for your plants and decorative items
- 2 or 3 birdhouses
- 1 set of wire LED mini lights (aff - between 7 and 12 feet is best for this project)
- Herbs or other small indoor plants
- Heavy Duty garbage bag or other thick plastic sheet
- 1 dowel cut into 4 – 8″ sections
- 4 eye hooks
- rocks to line bottom of tray
- potting soil
- mulch
decorative items (rocks, wood discs, etc.)
Check out this mini light planter box on Hometalk. It'd make a great dining table or wedding centerpiece. Cost only $6.50 to make! Holds 5 Mason Jars.
