Painting
To turn ordinary wooden trays into writable chalkboards, paint the inside surfaces of the trays generously with chalkboard paint: allow a first coat to dry, then apply 2 more coats of paint.Paint the side panels with craft paint.
Prepare the hanging
Screw eyelets into the tops of the trays for hanging later.Arrange clay pots
Fill two clay pots with plug-in foam. Arrange small and large clay pots on the trays. The large pots can also be stacked on top of each other for this. Fill the small clay pots with Iceland moss and fix everything with hot glue.Label
Use a chalk marker to draw plants on the small clay pots. You can already decorate the boards with your personal message.Craft windmills
To craft a windmill, you will need a square piece of paper, bamboo skewers and a round head clamp.Using the ruler, pre-draw cross lines across the paper from one corner to the other so that the center of the paper is accurately marked. Cut the paper to about 1 cm from the center, creating points.
Take the round head clamp, first pierce the center of the paper, then a left tip from the back of each. This gradually creates the wings of the windmill. Bend the clamp around the tip the bamboo skewer, fix it with a drop of hot glue.
In this way you can craft more windmills. Feel free to read our idea "Instructions for colorful windmills".

Arrange eucalyptus branches and succulents in the clay pots covered with plug-in foam. Now decorate the trays further according to your personal taste with small scatter pieces, more artificial plants, Iceland moss and, of course, the windmills you made yourself.Finally, attach a hanging ribbon to each tray.
