We have been experiencing some fantastically warm weather here in Southern California, the clock has "sprung forward" and I am feeling the need to dig in the dirt!
That's right – – it's time to start planting those gardens!
The project I am sharing with you today is Garden Markers.
Here is what you are going to need:
White Cardstock
Cardstock and Patterned Paper Scraps
All of those sticks that come in every pack of rub-ons (I know you save them all, just like me!) If not, buy a pack of craft sticks from your local big box scrap store
Seed Packets (optional)
Helmar Professional Acid Free Glue
Scraps of ribbon and trims, any other embellishments that catch your fancy.
I am using ribbons from Creative Impressions - you will probably see this company pop up on almost all of my projects – they have an incredible selection of ribbns,trims and embellishments.
The Acrylic Sealer gives a nice aged, antique look to my garden stakes and gives some protection from the elements.
What will you be making for your garden? I would love to see your garden projects using Helmar!
Thanks for stopping by!
