7 Easy Garden Plant Markers You Can Make

29 April

When I plant a garden I like to decorate it just like I like to decorate inside the house... cute trellises, garden gnomes, birdhouses, etc. 😁

Today I'm sharing seven cute DIY garden markers you can make and most are from things you already have lying around the house.

I made some quick garden markers from broken clay pots.

The idea for these came from some pieces of an old terracotta pot that I found buried in the bottom of a planter that was at my house when I bought it. I thought they were cool looking so I saved them.

To make plant markers with them I whitewashed them with some watered-down "Warm White" craft paint.

Then I used some heavy gage wire to wrap them.

I wrapped the wire around the pieces so they wouldn't fall out and left a long piece of the wire at the bottom to poke into the soil.

I wrote the plant name on the smooth side of the pot pieces with a black Sharpie marker. Use a clear spray sealer to protect them.

They can be for flowers or vegetables!

Here are some DIY plant markers from other DIYers that I've found.

This one is made from recycled wire hangers and frozen juice can lids by Diane at In My Own Style!! I just love the little bling she added with beads!

And this is a cute way to recycle old forks and wine corks! These are by Artsy Va Va!

These are made with glass beads. They are by Andrea at This Pug Life but her site doesn't seem to be up anymore.

I love these made with rocks by Kristin at Lu Bird Baby.

These are made with wood stakes. This idea comes from Kati at House Full of Handmade. You can buy stakes like these at most garden centers or hardware stores, or you can use scrap wood!
