DIY-Planter box with creative VBS Wooden tags and board paint

Step 1: Prime and prepare wooden tags

Start by carefully priming the VBS Carefully prime the wooden tags with white handicraft paint . This primer ensures that the colors of your napkin will stand out particularly well later on. Allow the paint to dry completely before continuing.

Step 2: Cut off the napkin motif

Take the napkin and gently tear out the desired motif. Tearing it out gives you a natural, smooth transition. Remove all unprinted napkin layers. The easiest way to do this is with an adhesive strip: stick it halfway onto the bottom side and then peel it off again. Now you only still have the thin, printed layer in your hand.

Step 3: Design wooden tags with a napkin motif

Apply a thin layer of napkin varnish to your wooden tag. Then place the napkin motif on top and coat it again from the inside out with napkin varnish. Caution: Do not apply too much pressure, as the delicate napkin could tear. Leave everything to dry well.

For long-lasting protection, apply a final coat of napkin varnish to the entire wooden pendant after drying. Optionally, you can thread a jute cord through the hole and close it with a bow to give the tag a rustic touch.

Step 4: Decorate VBS wood-plugs

Take a decorative wooden-plugs and paint it with your favorite craft paints to make them vibrant and colorful. Coat the stick of the plugs with napkin varnish, to protect it from the moisture in the soil. This will ensure that your decoration remains durable.

Step 5: Design the planter box with board paint

Now it's time for the planter box! Glue one side of the VBS Planting basket with crepe-adhesive tape to create three rectangles of the same size. Coat these rectangles with blackboard paint. Apply the varnish crosswise in 2-3 coats and leave it to dry completely for 24 hours.

Once dry, you can write on your planter box using chalk marker . The liquid chalk has a particularly high opacity, is easy to apply and can be wiped off again with a damp cloth. This way, you can give your box a personal touch and redesign it at any time.

Step 6: Plant and decorate the planter box

Now that the planter box is finished, it's time to fill it with life. Choose your favorite herbs or flowers and place them in the planter box. Make sure that your plants have enough space and suitable soil for healthy growth.

Then decorate the planted box with the self-designed plugs. These give your arrangement a charming, creative touch and are also a personal highlight in your garden or on your balcony.

Use the areas covered with blackboard paint to label the planted herbs or plants with the chalk marker . This way, you can always see which plants are growing where and you can wipe the board surfaces with a damp cloth at any time and re-label them if you want to plant different herbs or plants.

With your individually designed planter box, you now have not only only a useful, but also a decorative element that gives your living space a personal touch.
