It's Gardening Week...Let's Make Garden Markers...


It's another beautiful day at the Toadstool.  Today we're going to make some garden markers...our veggie garden is in desperate need of it.  I just dug up a bed that I had planted days ago...having forgotten completely that it was planted...oh my!  This was a craft born out of neccessity!


You will need:
medium sized rocks
paint
brushes
weatherproof varnish, (I just use the stuff from the craft store)

To start...

First we used gesso and primed the rocks white. 

 Then we put on a solid coat of paint...wait for it to dry and...

Paint on your picture...we did ours in the style of alphabet cards...with a picture of the veggie and then the letter it starts with...we did it mainly because there wasn't room on our rocks to write the whole word, but I think the result is cute!

Paint on a coat or two of weatherproof varnish.
Stick in the garden and enjoy...and for fogetful mammas like myself, now you will remember what you have in there!!!  You could also do this for your flower beds, herb garden...whatever you darn well fancy!

Now...I've got to get back to my garden!!!!  Today the garden will get some tomatoes, peppers, lettuce, broccoli, manure and a big ol dose of TLC!!!

Happy Gardening and Happy Crafting!

  4. What a lovely, simple idea. I seem to have a lot of bare soil, which will disappear under the plants, eventually. These pretty additions to the garden, would be great while I am waiting for it all to grow.

Your creativity shines, whether it's tomatoes, turnips, or lettuce, each marker stands out beautifully. I can almost picture them paired with a cozy Superdry Everest Bomber Jacket as I wander through the raised beds on a crisp spring morning, keeping me warm while I tend to my veggies in style.
