DIY Twigs Lawn Gnome Markers

This is one of those really cool quintessentially DIY projects that are born out of a traditional décor concept. It is really easy to make because you can use twigs from your own garden, if you have them, and you don’t need much talent, because you’re not actually drawing the garden gnomes, just the rough shape. It is also really cool because you can color code with the gnome hats so you know which plot you’re looking at from a distance. Get the tutorial via swallowsheart.

DIY Toy Dinosaur Plant Markers

This DIY is really cute but doesn’t take any work at all, because all you do is take old dinosaur toys – from a son or brother’s collection, or even your own – and stick a label in their mouths. It looks quite cool and quirky though. Get the tutorial via punkprojects.

DIY Bead Garden Markers

These beads-on-a-stick garden markers are seriously cute, and a great way to get the kids helping, both in making them and tending to the plants themselves.

These markers will blend in a little, unless you paint them, as clay and dirt are very similar colors, but this is a perfect project if you want to +practice your carving skills. Get the tutorial via witandwhistle.

DIY Wood Burned Spoon Garden Marker

Now this wooden spoon plant marker is a truly ingenious project. It does require a little skill and practice, because you will literally carve and burn your designs into the spoon, but the contrast of the light wood and burned design is really beautiful. gardentherapy.
