Little Garden Signs

The picking garden is coming along nicely...
The only thing bothering me was the little signs for the flowers (which were plastic) getting broken & lost... and just looked like litter in the flower bed.



Then I came across this idea at LoveThemMadly...
So, I decided to modify and make some little signs of my own.

Supplies:
-Corks
-Skewers
-Spray Paint

Happily, I had all of these on hand.




I first tried spray painting them over newspaper...



But it was taking too long with them having to be turned, multiple coats, etc.

Assembling and then painting upright worked much better:




(By the way, I cut each of the skewers in half)




I used a sharpie marker to write flower name on it...


They look really cute, match the color of the garage, and I'm hoping they will hold up better than the plastic ones!
The garden is starting to fill in a bit!
The blank row near the front is where the daffodil bulbs are.
