    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.
