Paint the base of the pot with chalkboard paint. Allow to dry.
Paint the top rim and base with an outdoor acrylic so it has a sealer already in it because you can’t use a spray sealer on chalkboard paint.
Allow to dry.
Fill with potting soil.
Use the base as a lid and tie with twine.
Add a note with card stock and add seeds.

Cost:

$1.50 for the pot and saucer.
Can of chalk paint was $3.50.
The outdoor acrylic was $1.20 per color.
I had the potting soil on hand but it runs around $3.00.
I purchased seeds for only $.10 a pack (had 11 seeds in packet).

The grand total averaged out to be around $2.00 a gift! This would make a really cute herb garden too! I hope you enjoy this really cute DIY.

Thanks to my friend Tiffany for sharing this idea and her pictures! I am so loving this and will be making my own chalkboard planters for gifts and myself!
