Making a Silver Spoon Plant Marker

Materials:

1 old silver spoon--I just found several at the flea market for $1 a piece
a hammer
a rag
metal stamp set
an extra fine permanent ink marker--black ink

Instructions:

1. Wrap the rounded end of the spoon with a rag and place it on something solid, ie. workbench, butcher block, cement sidewalk, etc.
2. Pound it with your hammer until nice and flat.
3. With the metal alphabet stamps and hammer, add your plant name or a little saying.
4. With the marker, go over the letters to make them stand out.

Put your wonderfully special plant marker in the pot or garden, and don't worry if the lettering is a bit wonky {like mine}...Deb
