Plant Markers with Bling

February 19, 2015 By Karen Creel

I was ready to do a few projects that I have had on my list, and today seemed the perfect day. It was 17 degrees outside and the wind made it feel like 10.

I have seen the stamped spoon plant markers, and had flattened some old spoons with plans to make a few.

But, while looking for the spoons, I ran across some of my jewelry making supplies. I had collected old rhinestone pieces from estate sales, thrift shops and flea markets, and decided to create some spoon markers with a little bling. I gathered up the other supplies I needed and headed for the dining room table.

You need to have a glue that will adhere to metal. The E6000 is one of the glues you can use.

Some pieces of jewelry that were chains, needed to be cut with little jewelry pliers to get the size I wanted.

The pieces were arranged the way I wanted and glued onto the spoons.

I like the way these little plant marker spoons add a little sparkle to your plant.

Gardenchick is a place for gardeners, flea market fanatics, lovers of the farmhouse look, and purveyors of all things rusty!

I’m not sure when my fascination with junk began, but gardening was in my blood from an early age. I remember my grandmother could throw a few seeds out and have the prettiest flowers. Sweet peas were rampant beside the front porch. I can see her now, bent over pulling weeds, and I find myself doing the same thing anytime I’m in the yard. My dad was raised on a large farm, and even though he moved away, and we always lived in the city, he had a garden. He had me help him plant a garden in May before he died in August. So you can see, gardening just comes naturally to me.

I can’t explain the love of rusty and all things chippy, but I have dug through more barns and sheds than I would like to admit to bring out a rusty wagon or old chicken feeder.

So, I hope you will follow along, and we can learn a few things together. I’ll be sharing gardening ideas, my flea market finds, and thrifty ways to repurpose.
