DIY Herb Garden Party with Brit + Co and Lay’s Wavy

I do not have a green thumb at all. I once potted three different kinds of herbs for a little garden and after one little sprout, nothing else happened. It’s a wonder that I still buy succulents since I’ve failed to keep alive three different batches. Right now I have one mini cactus holding on for dear life. But my black thumb ends now!

Brit + Co and Lay’s Wavy helped me host a fun DIY herb garden party where we decorated pots and planted parsley seeds, and I’m determined to grow some lush parsley!

Open Room Austin, a super cute outdoor space, was the setting of our party. This interactive art installation is a long picnic table and lamp posts in downtown Austin. I was overly optimistic about cool Austin weather and we endured a hot, hot setting. (Sorry and thank you, friends!)

Thanks to the Lay’s Wavy Cookbook, I found this savory Caramel Apple Cheddar Chip Blondie recipe that was pretty tasty! [Check out Lay’s Wavy Cookbook for more chip-inspired recipes.] We also had Lay’s Wavy original and Lay’s Wavy Hickory BBQ chips on hand. I’m on a serious sparkling water kick right now, so I had to share my favorite Cherry Lime La Croix.

Similar to the DIY cupcake stand party, we came up with designs for the pot.

I love the end results! My friends are so good at patterns. And I love my friend Abby’s green thumb determination with her words “I will survive!” This is the perfect size pot for a starter herb garden and hopefully the parsley will be growing wild soon for some homegrown garnishes.

This is a super easy DIY project and you can try it for yourself. Brit + Co has kits with everything you need to decorate and plant your seeds. Check out the DIY Parsley Plant Kit.

Thank you, Lay’s Wavy, for this fun DIY project!

What’s better than crafting a super cute cupcake stand? Crafting it with some awesome people in a super cute bakery! Brit + Co and Lay’s Wavy sent these DIY cupcake stand kits and chip snacks.

To go along with the craft, Bribery Bakery was the perfect setting. Only a few months old, the bakery delights with all of its scrumptious treats and cute environment. We enjoyed their Peanut Butter Cookies with Chocolate Ganache, Red Velvet Cupcakes, and my favorite – the Pineapple Brown Butter Blondies.

We wasted no time getting to crafting. For this craft, the kit includes a porcelain cupcake stand and several paint pens.

It’s a pretty easy craft and a little big of color goes a long way. Most of us went with simple patterns and I loved how our stands turned out! Of course, we had to test out our finished product.

Perfect for a single cupcake or pineapple blondie!

I made a special dessert topper for our treats. Top Chef and James Beard Award Winner Stephanie Izard created this Cheesy Chippy Crumble recipe using Lay’s Wavy Cheddar Chips that is a tasty topper for cupcakes, ice cream, muffins, parfaits and more. Slightly cheesy, it’s very easy to make and includes mostly Cheddar Chips, oats, brown sugar, butter, and flour. Check out Lay’s Wavy Cookbook, Pinterest’s first cookbook, for more chip-inspired recipes.

Thank you to Brit + Co and Lay’s Wavy for a fun crafting and snacking time!
