Watercolor Plant Markers

by

For an easy homemade gift idea that everyone will love, try making some watercolor plant markers. Stick some in potted plants and give them to someone special on Mother’s Day or for end of the year teacher gifts. Kids will love the process of making these from rolling out the clay, stamping on words and decorating them with paint. You can either choose inspirational words to stamp on the clay or make labels for herbs. The possibilities are endless with this fun craft!

Materials Needed:

Step One: Roll out the clay until it’s about ¼ inch in thickness. Use a pen or pencil as a rolling pin to make this process easier.

Step Two: Using a knife, cut the clay into 3-4 inch long strips. Cut the bottom end of each strip into a V shape.

Step Three: Stamp words into the top section of each strip using the alphabet stamps. Bake the plant markers according to the polymer clay package directions.

Step Four: After the markers are cooled, paint the markers with watered down acrylic paint.
