  • Create a bottom for your burlap bag by gathering the corners of the bottom.
  • Use a large needle and sturdy thread to sew the tips of the corners and through the bottom of the sack.
  • Fold it in half and flip it inside out.
  • Add some rope handles using grommets.
  • Tie a double knot on the inside of the bag to secure the rope.
  • Print out the word Herbs on an inkjet printer by taping a piece of wax paper to computer paper. (make sure to reverse the image)
  • Apply the graphic by pressing the printed image onto the burlap. Then use a black Sharpie to fill in the graphic.
  • Start filling the sack by placing some old plastic nursery cells in the bottom of the bag.
  • Add your potting soil and herbs.
  • Place your burlap sack somewhere where it will receive at least 6 hours of sun each day.
