Mint Chandelier
Newly snipped mint leaves make a refreshing garnish for summer drinks, and this outdoor chandelier keeps the herb within arm's reach.

steps
-
Find several small, old pots (we used retired sap buckets). For each pot, wrap a circle of 24-gauge annealed craft wire (available at crafts stores) below the lip.
-
Cut a length of wire roughly twice the distance you want the pot to hang from above, then secure by twisting each end to opposite points on the wire circle.
-
Before planting mint, punch small holes in the bottom of each pot, and line with pebbles. Water often, because small pots tend to dry out quickly.
