Engraved Plant Markers

Over Labor Day weekend, my parents were in town and my mom had a fun new idea for my laser! She comes up with some of the best ideas! She brought back some bamboo skewers to have me engrave and turn into plant markers!

My mom has a beautiful garden! My parents are selling their house and she thought it would be nice to leave the new owners plant markers so they know which plants are which when things start blooming in the spring again.

We did about 20 different varieties of plants and then went on a photo shoot to my grandma's house. It was fun to take some outdoor photos again! (Seems I only take product photos anymore!)

I need to get my hands on some more of these so I can add them to my shop. They're about 3/8" wide and probably 12" long making them perfect for plant markers. And since they're made of bamboo, they will withstand the outdoor elements well.

  5. Those are so cute! I wish we had plant markers in our yard from the previous owners! There's been a lot of standing there going "Uh..." and googling random plant names on our phones. (God, I'm such a city slicker.)

    At least I knew the flowers. :-)

  9. Oh my gosh! What a cool idea. I just moved into a new house, and I wish the previous tenants would have left me some of these. By the way, this gives me another idea. What about customized popcicle sticks? That would be a cute summer party favor!
