How to make an herb basket for the kitchen

By Debbiedoo's Team Published: May 27, 2015 · Modified: Feb 4, 2025

Hi there once again! Time for our thrifty series, #4!  Today, I am sharing how to make an herb basket for the kitchen.

This month we don’t have the whole team with us..sorry, tis that time of year.

This series is a lot of fun for me because for one I get to go thifting and for two, you start to think outside the box when you are on the hunt.  I scored this large basket for $2.99.  I loved how chunky and sturdy it looked.  I wasn’t sure what I was going to do with it.  Then, I thought I would create a fresh herb garden on our kitchen shelves. Perfect spot with all the bright natural sunlight to grow herbs.

My kitchen and family room are actually in the process of being painted.  Bye bye yellow toned walls.

If you missed the family room reveal you can check out the new color here.

It looks totally different. I even found some new cute valances.  Can’t wait to share.

Please stop by the other gals and check out what thrifty makeovers they have for us today.

    I like this idea. I’ve always wanted an herb garden but I don’t have a green thumb 🙁 . I like the burlap idea too!

    How pretty is that, Debbie! I love the coffee sack you added. Your shelves by the window look like the perfect spot to grow some herbs, too.
