Recycled Aluminum Cans Are Perfect Plant Markers
Check out my beautiful plant markers! A gift from Annette!
Visit her blog "by Annette" where you will find an excellent tutorial for making your very own set of plant markers using recycled aluminum pop cans!
After creating this totally amazing wreath using dozens and dozens and dozens of fabulous flowers made from aluminum cans, plant markers seems to me to be a logical step and a great application for her techniques! So I suggested she and I play around with ideas for "garden art" and plant markers.
The next thing I know - this lovely surprise gift arrives in the mail!
Take a closer peak at her "bow".
I am so totally framing this little flower!
And these have already found homes next to my infant tomatoes!
Now I need to hold up my end of the bargain and make a few of my own!!! Will share when done.
Thank you Annette! I LOVE my new plant markers.
