It’s MAGIC ( picture me using a mystically dramatic voice there ). That is actually not true. It’s not magic, in fact anyone can do it and it’s soooo EASY that you can knock this project out in an afternoon. What a great Mother’s Day gift you guys! Check out the video and then scroll down for the promised paint recipes!!

What is an appropriate sealer for outside? Apply or spray on?
I loved this, thank you! Do you seal the project at the end?
Thanks!

Hi Michele! We’re happy to hear you loved this project, find a retailer near you here to get started on your own! 🙂 Sally and Josie did not seal the container at the end because it’s home is in Sally’s kitchen window. If you plan to keep your container outside we recommend sealing it with an appropriate sealer for the container you choose! Happy creating!

I love this project! I have tried growing kitchen window herbs in pots and they just do not like it, this will give them way more wiggle room. Thank you ladies! I am a not so new fan of your product lines!💕 I have been ignited with inspiration since using your molds and transfers and stamps…oh my!
