These markers are made using the front of the seed packet and outdoor sealer - lots more ideas to use seed packet fronts here. I have been in my garden all week. I cleaned out my herb bed and all the markers I used last year are faded and I need some new longer lasting ideas. Here are a few ideas I found - each title is a lnk to the original post with instructions.
********************
This is from the Birds and Blooms site - put in plant markers in their search feature to pull up the instructions.
Make your own marker on your computer
Acyrlic Sleeves
These are broken plates
Made out of clay
I love these engraved rocks
Antique spoons with instructions
Made out of vinyl blinds
This website has several ideas - this pix is one of them
Cute markers made from twigs
This is from the Martha Stewart website - I like this one!
Another website with pictures of engraved spoons
In this post and pix are markers made from 3 different mediums

How cute (and simple and frugal) are the rock markers! Why don't I think up things like that? I really like the clay ones, too, but that looks like it's a bit more complicated. Thanks for the ideas!
ReplyDeleteI LOVE all of these ideas. Especially the spoons. :)
ReplyDeleteI love these ideas! Thanks for sharing- it has definitely given me some ideas for creating new markers.
ReplyDeleteTHese are all great ideas. I have been trying to find ones I like. these sites may be getting a visit from me. thanks for the info.
ReplyDeleteGreat ideas for plant markers!! So far all I have done are the window blinds -- not the prettiest but very effective.
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing a link to my post about using river rocks as plant markers! I actually used a stamp to write the letters, they're not engraved. Much easier! :-D
ReplyDeleteHi Paula, I really enjoyed the plant marker ideas! I too think I will try the mason jar one. Cool!
