Happy Monday, Friends! Although accidents happen, it can be so frustrating to accidentally break a lovely plate. Today I'm sharing a fun way to repurpose the broken pieces to use in your garden and you can create these plant markers in less than 15 minutes...
Here's a peek at my broken plate before.
All you need is a Sharpie marker for lettering the name of the herb, flower, or veggie you plan to mark.
You'll probably need to go over the lettering twice. Pictured above is a view after the first time I wrote lemon balm. Below, you can see me tracing the letters for the second time.
Now you're ready to place it in your garden! (Simply push it firmly into the ground.)

unfortunate breaking a gorgeous plate, but great in your garden.
ReplyDeleteWhat a great idea! I always get sad, though, when I use Sharpie markers for my plant markers. The words always fade and disappear pretty quickly for me. From now on I'm using paint (on some pretty broken plates lol)! xo Kathleen
ReplyDeleteVery nice. I have used some deep dishes (like a casserole) in hopes that a toad will take shelter!
ReplyDeleteI love this idea!
ReplyDeleteWell, this is so simple, but it’s a good mindset shift of making lemonade from lemons. Don’t cry over the broken pieces—use them!
ReplyDeleteFeaturing your post tomorrow at the Sunday Sunshine Blog Hop so we can get used to looking at things in a new way!
Thank you!
Laurie
