DIY Hanging Indoor Herb Garden

Learn how to create your own indoor hanging herb garden with this beginner level woodworking DIY. Never done woodworking? Beginners, this will be an easy project to start with and will leave you feeling like an expert. Let's get started!

Start by painting or staining your wood the color that best matches your space.

First, sand down the piece of wood (here we used a 320 grit) and stain or paint.

Next, wipe the dust away with a wet cloth and apply the stain once dry.

Finally, treat your wood with a wood finish.

Use a hammer to push your screwdriver through the bottom of each can, creating four holes on the bottom of each. Twist the screw driver to make the holes a little bit bigger.

Repeat as much or as little as you'd like for drainage!

Place your cans on the piece of wood and space them out evenly to match your length of wood.

Roll out your steel bracket strips and bend them around the front of your cans, leaving at least one hole space on each side for screws. Be sure to wear gloves since the edges are sharp.

You want to be gentle and patient. Cut your steel down and repeat for each can.

Make a mark in one hole space on each side of each can for the screws.

Select your choice of herbs to insert into the cans.

Place one end of a bracket on your first screw mark you made, then screw it in.

Ensure the can fits nice and snug before screwing in the other side.

Repeat with the remaining cans.

Add labels for each herb!

Add a dab of hot glue and stick to the middle of the can.

Attach a picture frame holder to the back of the wood. Be sure to have the proper hanger on the back for the weight of the project.

Hang and enjoy!
