These durable garden markers were fun to make and not as hard as I thought they would be.  I saw this idea online and wanted to make them for my garden!  All it took was a few tools and a little muscle to pound the spoons flat.  Great for working out any aggression! 🙂  And I like that the words won’t wash off with time and weathering.

Supplies

All you will need is:

• Metal Stampers (I got mine off amazon for $15)
• Old Spoons (second hand stores are great for this!)
• Hammer
• Permanent Marker (to fill in the stamped words)
• Hard surface to hammer the spoons on ( I used an old paver)

Directions

1. Hammer the spoons flat on a hard surface that won’t break.
2. Stamp your spoons with the names of veggies and herbs you are growing in your garden with hammer.
3. Color in the words with a permanent marker an wipe off leaving the words darkened and easier to see.
4. Place in garden where needed!
