I love pretty mugs, teapots, cups and saucers, so it always saddens me when they get chipped or develop hairline cracks. But thanks to my thrifty solution, there is no need to throw them away.
Reuse them and make your own pretty planters for your kitchen window, in just four easy steps.
- Place some gravel in the bottom of your cup/ teapot to allow for a bit of drainage if you happen to over water.
- Add a small amount of potting soil or compost. If using a teapot remember to put some up the spout. A handle of a wooden spoon is a useful device to help push this down.
- Loosen your chosen plant from its pot (my plant preference would be a beautiful smelling herb such as oregano), and plant in your new planter.
- Add some more potting soil or compost around the top of the plant and compress. Remember to water and hey presto.
