I have really gotten into plants lately and am loving my Vertical Herb Garden!  I'm thinking of planting this fall so that I can have some fresh blooms in the springtime. Ranunculus and white Anenomes are in the cards. I will need some markers if I use seeds or bulbs though so I can know which plants are which and keep them on the right watering schedule! That's where these DIY plant markers come in! 

How to Make DIY Plant Markers

I just love how these turned out and they were super easy to make with my Cricut and outdoor vinyl. 

Materials Needed:

• Cricut Maker
• Standard Grip Mat
• Outdoor Glossy Vinyl
• Basic Tool Set
• Transfer Tape
• Bamboo Plant Markers
• White Paint (optional)

Pick a font in Design Space and create labels for the herbs or plants you need markers for. Size them to fit on your garden markers. 

Cut a piece of vinyl and put on on a green StandardGrip mat. Follow instructions in Cricut Design Space to cut vinyl.

Weed extra vinyl and cut each word out so they are separate pieces.

1. Put garden markers on a disposable tablecloth or paper.
2. Paint wood markers on both sides with an outdoor paint or acrylic paint. You may want to do multiple layers. Let paint dry completely. 
3. Use transfer tape to apply vinyl to a garden marker. (Read this detailed tutorial for using transfer tape.)
4. Repeat until all markers are labeled.

Here are printable instructions for the plant markers. If you make this project, please leave us a comment and a positive review!
