Here's an easy project to get you in the mood for gardening this spring: chalkboard plant tags!
Work in a well-ventilated area |
Popsicle sticks (collected or purchased from a craft supply store)
Chalkboard spray paint
A surface on which you can spray paint (newspaper, butcher paper, etc)
A well-ventilated area in which to work
Instructions:
Lay all the popsicle sticks out on the paper. Spray with a light coat of paint. Let it dry, then coat with another light coat of paint. 2-3 coats should cover.
After the first side is completely dry, turn the sticks over and repeat.
I wrote on my sticks with a white charcoal pencil. It has poured rain for several consecutive days since I stuck these in the ground, and they are still easy to read!
