Garden Stones

I have seen a few different types of plant labels for the garden, usually made out of tin or wood. I really liked the idea but I could never find them labeled with the same veggies and herbs I have in my garden. So, I had an idea to paint river stones. I love it! So natural looking and I can label any and everything! Here's how I did it...

Supplies:
Stones
Acrylic Paint Pen (Elmer's Painters, black fine point. Mine is from JoAnn Fabrics- $3.99.)

    So stinkin' cute! This post gave me an idea for one of my own stone decorations. I'll be sure to label my garden like this for next year. :)

    WOw. These turned out great. I love the rounded, natural look of the stones.

    I hope you don't mind. I linked your post to my Porch and Garden Party at firstadream.blogspot.com.
