I’ve upcycled a wooden crate!

I upcycled a wooden crate using paints that I don’t use anymore and old bubble wrap (I couldn’t find another foil). I put some potting soil inside it and planted some seeds… now I’m looking forward to planting lots of herbs inside my house! Okay, I’m joking, for now it is just a basil ;)

My motivation? I got really irritated with buying basil spice in paper bags every month… you know the small bags you can find in (I guees) every shop. I’ve also seen same looking basil being sold in plastic bottles (similar to ketchup bottles), what’s wrong with people? Anyway, I’m a person who uses a lot of basil while cooking and I’ve finally decided I want to grow it myself. But I have a large garden so why did I plant it in a crate? I wanted to check how it is to plant food inside ;)

By the way, I mentioned a bubble wrap. If you obtain it somehow, don’t throw it out! Always try to reuse bubble wrap, I always collect it and if I have to I use it to pack another package ;) Here are some ideas what you can do with bubble wrap:

• Use it to cover wooden crate similar to mine and make your own potting crate ;)
• You can use it for window isolation (it is useful especially in winter)
• Simply use it to secure what you need
• Make a frottage! Cover the wrap with paint and make a stamp
• Or use it in a collage! (maybe it won’t save the planet but it’s fun…)
• Make some beads! I’m absolutely amazed by the idea!
• Use it in photography (for example like that)
• If you like baking and you are brave, you can also try out those wild DIY from youtube:D

I hope I inspired you a bit ;) 

Thanks for supporting me! 

Greetings!
