Do-it-Yourself Garden Labels

My girls and I did these in no time for our new garden.  Those little labels that come with your plants when you purchase them will do the job, but they are small and hard to read.  Once your plants begin to get bigger and bigger , these make it nice to be able to look out into your garden and see where everything is.

We simply used materials we had around the house instead of buying any new materials.  For the background of each card, we used magazine pages.  The torn edges were done with a paper tearing tool.  I {love} how unique they look. The veggies were printed on card stock and cut out. Then the name of each veggie was printed on white paper and backed with the matching veggie color.

Lastly, I ran them through my laminator and attached a popsicle stick on the back of each one with clear heavy duty packing tape. The laminating paper will protect them in the rain and when we water our plants.

They turned out great and they really add some color to our garden as we patiently wait for it to give us fresh yummy food to eat!
