5 Easy DIY Plant Markers to Keep Your Garden Organized
Have you ever planted something and forgotten what it was? Or perhaps sticking the little plastic tag that came with a plant into the soil nearby spoils your aesthetic. Now you can keep all your vegetables, herbs, and flowers clearly labeled with stylish DIY plant markers. All you'll need are a few simple tools and inexpensive supplies such as paint and glue. Then, let your inner artist loose while you turn everyday items such as canning jar lids and wooden stakes in fun, colorful plant markers. Whether you're all about the modern farmhouse look or prefer something more rustic, one of these projects is sure to suit your style.

What You Need

Acrylic paint
Canning jar lids (wide mouth works well)
Decorative stickers (try the scrapbook department of your local crafts store)
Paint pen
Outdoor sealant
Needle-nose pliers
16 gauge brass wire, cut to 15-inch lengths
How to Make It

Using acrylic paint, apply two coats to each jar lid.
Once the paint has dried, apply the decorative stickers and use the paint pen to write the plant names.
After the paint has dried, apply 2-3 coats of the outdoor sealant and allow to dry.
Using the needle-nose pliers, bend a flat coil at the top of a length of wire.
Once the sealant has dried, secure the lid in the flat coil.
