That You Can Make Yourself!
I ran across this project on a blog that I read greylustergirl.com and I thought it was so cute! I just had to contact Lisa, the owner of the blog, to ask if I could share it with you all. Luckily she said yes, so make sure you go check it out.
I have been racking my brain for weeks trying to figure out now to make some plant markers that would stand up to the weather, dirt, and wear and tear and still be usable for more than one year. I thought about making painted rocks, but I think they would get lost. I have been using craft sticks, but the doggone things rot and fall apart in a month. I was about ready to take the plunge and buy some fancy expensive plant markers, when I saw this project and I knew I had found my answer!

| $16.00 Letter Stamps   | $4.75 Tapping Hammer   |
| Scissors that are heavy duty enough to cut a can. | An awl to punch a hole to thread the wire through. | Wire to connect the marker to the stake. You can cut up coat hanger for stakes. |
I had everything I needed to make these except the stamps themselves, because I used to make jewelry. So for $16 I got a set of metal stamps and a whole brain full of ideas on things to make with them. Stay tuned for many more craft projects involving these stamps!
Have a great week,
