Paint Mixing Stick Garden Signs

April 11, 2013

We are getting ready to plant our vegetable garden soon and thought we could use some new garden signs. This is a quick and easy project and great for the kids to help with. And did I mention FREE?!
You will need a handful of paint mixing sticks. You can usually find these for free at your local home improvement store. And you can use whatever paint you have at home (I bet spray paint or permanent marker would works as well). I used a combo of acrylic paints and paint pens.
First paint your sticks
Then write the name of the fruit or vegetable on them 🙂 If you are OCD like me and like to have your text look nice and neat, I will show you a fun trick.
Print out the words using a font you like.
Then use a pencil or small tip pen to trace the letters onto your wood. 
Press hard and it will leave a nice imprint.
Then use a small brush or paint marker to fill in the letters!
That’s it! Stick them in the ground near each fruit/vegetable. I will post pictures of them in our garden when we plant everything.
If you like this idea, you may like the vegetable garden rock signs we made last year!

    Try not to leave without visiting the store’s wood cutting zone. Regardless of whether you’re a prepared craftsman or taking a shot at a DIY venture, a prepared Home Depot partner can cut every single distinctive size of wood boardsBest Softball glove for infielder and sheets, for nothing out of pocket.

    Hey! I even have read all of your information and It seems interesting but I even have to point out you a decent toy that you simply definitely want to seem at. An electric race car track set would be sufficient if you’re trying to find the simplest electric racer track for 3-year-olds but it’d be very basic for older children and you would possibly want to travel towards remote racer tracks for them so age does matter. Also, race tracks require space so confirm you’ve got sufficient space for the race track you would like to shop for. https://cartnoch.com/best-electric-race-car-track/
