These signs are also very simple to make once you have the supplies. Simply follow the instructions below to transform your garden! Have fun!

Supplies

wood board
sandpaper
white paint & paint brush
gold vinyl/stickers or gold paint pen
clear polyurethane
garden stakes
screws & drill

Instructions

Step 1: Cut the wood boards to your desired length and sand down any rough edges. I cut a 1×8 board into 12″ pieces, then cut each piece in 1/2 lengthwise.

Step 2: Paint a rectangle in the center of your board, leaving about a 1″ border on each side.

Step 3: Once dry, paint a second coat, feathering the paint outside the rectangle for a messy, paint-splattered look.

Step 4: Add the lettering for your garden markers, either with gold vinyl, stickers, or using a gold paint pen. I used my Silhouette CAMEO cutting machine to cut these letters out on vinyl using the Alex Brush font.

Step 5: Add a garden stake to the back of each sign using screws to attach the two pieces. I used 1″ screws for the small, narrow garden stakes seen in the photo below.

Step 6: Seal the signs with clear polyurethane to protect them from the elements.

Your’e finished! Enjoy your beautiful garden!
