11. Burlap-Wrapped Herb Pots in a Galvanized Metal Tray

What You Need

  • A rectangular galvanized metal tray with handles
  • 3 small terracotta pots planted with culinary herbs (rosemary, thyme, sage)
  • Natural burlap fabric cut into squares
  • Twine or jute string

How to Make It

  • Wrap each potted herb snugly in a square of natural burlap fabric, bringing the corners up around the rim.
  • Tie a length of twine tightly around the burlap-wrapped pots in a neat double knot or bow.
  • Arrange the three herb pots side-by-side inside the galvanized metal tray.
  • Wipe down any stray soil from the tray rim.

Tips & Variations

  • Tip: Fresh herbs not only look wonderfully green and neutral but also release a subtle, clean aroma when brushed against.
  • Variation: Use artificial faux potted greenery if natural light near the table is insufficient.
