I recently stumbled upon a fantastic up-cycling idea that can be used as a candle holder, vase or a planter. Behold!
Personally, I think it would be a great idea for a hanging mini herb garden. Which is disappointing since I just recently planted a herb garden.
Here's the website where you can see the tutorial and images of the other ideas. What would you use it for?

That's A great idea! Personally, I'm not that into gardening, but I love sewing. Hang it in my room, and it would be great for pins, buttons, and the like.

That's a brilliant idea! It could even be used for beading or paintbrushes and things. The possibilities are endless~

✿ Baby food jars are a bit better size for beading (and buttons too, unless you've got a HUGE stash!)

Haha! Yes, that is what was used in the example. I was just thinking that besides that you could also recycle old tin cans if one likes the rustic effect.

✿ So they are! I thought they were mason jars the first time so I was thinking they would be very big for the job xd

✿ I love the idea for a mini herb garden! I'd get started on in right now if I wasn't moving soon. I'm not sure how it would get good drainage though. Any ideas?

Same here, which is why I mainly dream about the things I could make.
Hm, I guess it would be a good idea to just spray the soil with a spray bottle every now and then, so the plant takes what it needs and doesn't drown.

✿ Hmm, if you've heard of someone doing something like this I'd love to hear how it works. Normally I'd say occasional spraying sounds like a bad idea since the roots get nutrients from the soil by absorbing the water and the nutrients that water pulls out of the soil. With no water the roots dry up and die. Plants don't actually "drown" either, but they do rot and die if they sit in water that isn't moving. That is why all potted plants should have drainage holes. But, as long as the water is moving the roots can stay continuously wet with no problems. This is why hydroponic/aeroponic systems work so well (growing plants with water and no soil). BUT, the flip side is herbs tend to taste better if you don't water them as often and especially don't fertilize. You're essentially starving them so they can't grow as big and all the yummy flavor gets concentrated in the smaller amount of leaves it does grow making the flavor much stronger. So in that light, your spraying idea might work. I'd just like to hear how someone else does it and how to keep the right balancing act to keep them from dying. Cuz I know if I try it I'll end up killing them, lol.

I have an indoor vine in a no-drain-holes tin can. You just need to know how much water the vessel needs and be extra careful.
The real problem with jar herbs is that the roots are constricted so the plant size will likely remain fairly small. Fine for occasional use but you probably won't get enough to dry some to save for when the plant dies.
