Do you know the snails Lizzy, Willy and Pepper? Together with the VBS plug frog, the cute wooden motifs like to decorate the herb pot trio designed with napkin technique. Painted in the current spring colors, this new herb corner is certainly a great eye-catcher in your kitchen!

Design the VBS plugs
Paint the individual plugs with colors from the "Pastel Poetry" set. Trace the contours of the laser-cut faces with a fine-tip marker and label Lizzy the snail's tags with "Herb" and "Garden" or your own personal message.

Coat the dried paint with napkin varnish (to protect from moisture). Glue on wiggle eyes (craft glue) and knot pretty ribbons around the stem.
From the wooden pendant "Snail Willi", however, now remove the ribbons, because this is placed in the herb pot scene as a decoration. Paint this snail, flower and leaf and glue the three parts together decoratively. You are welcome to glue a small crafted bow to the little flower.

Tip: Problems painting filigree parts? Use alternatively to the brush a bamboo skewer for painting.
Rose pots for your herbs
You should first coat the terracotta rose pots with clay sealant from the inside. This ensures that the pores of the terracotta are sealed, no liquid subsequently penetrates to the outside.

Prime the rose pots with gray paint. As soon as this has dried, apply a second coat of crackling varnish, and then a third coat of white craft paint after it has dried. This will now dry with the crackle effect to an antique look.

If you only want to design part of the terra cotta pot, tape off the areas that will not be designed with masking tape.

Coat the pots with napkin varnish and now design the surface with napkin technique: place the top printed paper layer of the napkin, smooth the napkin motifs on the designed surface with a brush and napkin varnish. This will fix them at the same time.
