Easy Star Wars Craft Ideas

Planting An Indoor Herb Garden
Also, there is a sense of accomplishment to grow something. I love to cook with fresh herbs from my indoor garden we have planted. They add great flavor to my recipes.
Non-Organic or Organic Soil? That is the Question!
I feel choosing the soil I use for my gardening projects is important. I want a soil that nourishes what I plant as well as my family. There are so many soils out there, it can be confusing to make the right choice.
I have been gardening with organic soil and plant foods for years. Non-organic soil may contain contaminates and products like Styrofoam. They also lack the nutrients and minerals organic soil has.
Fabric Covered Flower Pots
The kids and I were looking for some easy craft ideas that would fit into our gardening bug. We decided to make some fun fabric covered flower pots like these Easy to Make DIY Fabric Covered Flower Pots.
Once the pots were ready, we then were going to plant an indoor herb garden. Two of our favorite things to do! You and the kids will love this easy Star Wars fabric covered flower pots craft idea!

It Is Easy To Replant Your Herbs and Plants
These Fabric Covered Flower Pots Are An Easy Star Wars Craft Idea
We wanted to brighten up our indoor garden without spending too much. That is what makes these fabric covered flower pots an easy Star Wars craft idea!
Materials
- 6 terra cotta flower pots and saucers
- Star Wars fabric
- Mod Podge
- Clear sealing spray coat
- Soil
- Plant food
- Herbs and plants
Tools
- Scissors
- Pencil or pen
- Gardening gloves
- craft brushes
Instructions
- Lay out your fabric on a flat surface. Lay terracotta pot on top of the fabric. Draw an arc (horseshoe shape.)
- Position the fabric (right side down) so the flat end of the arc is facing you. Lay the pot so the top is to your right and the bottom is on your left.
- Brush a strip of Mod Podge on the pot, approximately 2″ wide. Press on fabric and smooth. Repeat process until entire pot is covered.You will have excess fabric, so you will need to trim that, leaving 1/8″ overlap.
- Turn the pot upside down and trim the excess (it looks like the tip of the sorting hat from Harry Potter), leaving a 1/3″ inch overlap.
- Pointing your scissors downward, cut 1/8″ slits into the excess fabric, making small tabs. About 6 of them should be fine. Mod Podge the bottom of the pot and press down each tab of fabric.
- Turn the pot right side up and pointing your scissors downward, cut 1/4″ slits into the excess fabric, making small tabs. About 6 of them should be fine.
- Mod Podge the bottom of the pot and press down each tab of fabric. Mod Podge the rim of the pot and about 1/2″ down, all the way around. Repeat the same process with the tabs as above.
- Mod Podge the entire pot, brushing it all over the fabric covered area. Let dry 15-20 minutes.
- Spray the pot with the clear coat (I use the matte finish) and let dry (about 20-30 minutes.)
- Cut your plants out of their recycled covering. Gently shake the excess soil.
- Mix some good plant food with your soil.
- Add about 1/4 cup of the mixture to the bottom of your flower pot.
- Add your herb plant and fill in with more of the soil mixture.
Which Herbs And Plants To Choose
Planting an indoor herb garden is easy. We buy potted herbs from the Walmart garden center. These herbs are have already been started for you. There were several to choose from.
We settled on chocolate mint and purple basil for these fabric covered flower pots. We also grabbed some catnip, sweet mint, lemon and pineapple sage for another project.
Here are a few more great craft projects you can make:
Superhero Mason Jar Drink Coasters
Easy Fabric Covered Patriotic Mason Jars
