Paint Stick Garden Markers

We finally got most of our garden planted.

When growing up we had a vegetable garden.

Our dad would try growing different fruit and vegetables 

along with some citrus and fruit trees. 

Sometimes it was trial and error growing things in the hot Arizona desert.

Now each year we plant a little garden.

I made these fun plant markers to go next to our little sprouts.

Pick up a few paint sticks at your local hardware store.

I wanted the look of chalkboard,

so I painted 4" down the stick with black acrylic paint.

For the lettering, make a stencil with your Silhouette or Cricket.

You can also hand write your words with a paint pen or use our lettering transfer technique.

Use a stencil brush with white craft acrylic.

After the paint dries, remove the vinyl.

 I'm lovin' these plant markers in the garden.

And in the herb pots. 

Might even do a series of herb markers, basil, cilantro, chives...

Can't wait to harvest some tomatoes, peppers, zucchini......

Nothing beats eating something grown from your garden in the summer!
