Materials:
Plant images and names cut from your seed catalogues or magazines
Cardboard or balsa wood rectangles to suit your images
Wooden tongue depressors, popsicle sticks or metal skewers as stakes to mount your plant tags and poke them in the ground
Elmers Glue-All or Mod Podge
Scissors
Small bowl of water
Acrylic paint (optional)
Prep surface:If you are using balsa wood, you may need to sand off any rough edges.
Do so gently to stop splintering the wood. Then wipe away any dust having a damp sponge.
Decide should you prefer a colored background. The best Side of plant labels showing through can be a nice look by itself a lot like old-fashioned orange crates. If you want color, apply two coats of acrylic paint, allowing two hours drying time per coat. If you'll find any rough spots, sand again; and wipe away any dust as before.
Decoupage
This is really a great tip from Durwin Rice. If you are using images with color on both sides (like from a catalogue or magazine), soak each image in a small bowl of water until it stops curling and floats freely without wrinkles.
This relaxes the paper fibers so that it is easier to rate the picture cleanly about the decoupage glue/sealer. Images will slide easily into place and not be grabbed through the glue.
Liberally apply glue/sealer on the area for each image and slide the look into place. Gently lessen any wrinkles or bubbles along with your fingertips.
Using a damp sponge, wipe over the look and round the edges to eliminate any stray glue.
Repeat until all of your images and plant names come in place.
Let dry thoroughly.
Check for bubbles as they definitely dry. If some develop, smooth gently. If they are already set, pierce with a pin or craft knife, then smooth. It wont even show whenever your piece is performed.
Back (Optional):
Paint the back of each tag with two coats of acrylic paint.
Embellish (Optional):Use a wide nib pen to draw outlines, background patterns or border trims around the front. Run the pen across the edge to give a great finished look.
Seal:
Using a sponge brush, apply at the very least two coats of acrylic-based polyurethane. Since the markers will likely be exposed for the elements, 3 to 4 would be better. Youll also observe how additional coats put in a special depth. Your markers can look just like you hand-painted them!
Mount:
Using appropriate glue or fasteners, attach each plant label tag to some stake.
