Stone herb name markers...alternative to the paddle pop stick

91 Comments

These stone herb name markers look fabulous and a little bit different. The kids could also make pet rocks by painting on the eyes etc and put them in the garden.

Material

pebbles
1 white liquid pen
clear lacquer

Method

Wash the stones and let them dry.
Write the herb name on the stone and decorate. If you don't like it wash it off and start again.
When you are happy with the result seal with clear lacquer. I like spray lacquer but painted on is fine. Let them dry then turn and lacquer the backs.
Place into the garden.

Notes

Great to add to a bought or propagated plant that is a gift.

Good idea. Because the writing on paddle pop sticks always fades.

I like this idea, it’s better than the sticks coming out and losing their place.

This is a much prettier idea than the paddle pop sticks.

Our dog was recently put down and us buried in our backyard. These look great, am thinking of making some as grave markers. Write different words on each one explaining what our dog meant to us all
