Do you have the wood burning tool that you got to make that one DIY you saw on Pinterest? Time to dust that the box and use the tool. I have a simple DIY to make for your garden. All you need is popsicle sticks and wood burning tool. Let's see how.
Materials Used :
Popsicle sticks
Wood burning tool
Pencil
Paper towel (optional)
Liquid dye or Acrylic paint (optional)
Step 1: Write the name of the plant on the popsicle stick using the pencil. You can draw a small picture of the fruit or flower beside the name of the plant if you desire.
Step 2: Use the wood burning tool and go over the pencil marks. You can stop here but if you want to add some color to the markers then continue.
Step 3: Soak a paper towel with a tiny amount of liquid dye and apply it to the wood burned part of the popsicle stick. Let it dry and now the garden markers are ready to decorate/organize your garden.

ReplyDeleteA great idea! I'm horrible about forgetting where I planted what. And these are so cute!!! #HomeMattersParty
ReplyDeleteI didn't use garden markers this year and I really should have. Now I have two types of cucumbers and four different types of tomatoes growing and I don't remember which bed I planted them in. Thanks for sharing a great craft. #HomeMattersParty
