I've been so excited about my mini kitchen window herb garden lately! When I planted my herbs, I searched around online for some cute plant marker ideas and found these from Martha Stewart. Not only are they cute, they're so simple to make!
What you'll need:
- twigs
- x-acto knife
- pen or thin sharpie
Cut your twigs to the desired size. Shave a little of the bark off with your x-acto knife to create a flat surface.
Write the plant names with a pen or thin sharpie and you're all set!
Note: I found those little buckets in the dollar section of Target and drilled holes in the bottom for drainage. They work perfectly and look pretty cute on the windowsill too!
What an awesome idea! I've been using paddle pop sticks that I painted and then wrote on with calligraphy pen but they don't fare so well outside - definitely will be replacing them with these!
ReplyDeleteI'm glad you like them, Courtney!
