Wood Slice Unfinished Ornaments To Plant Markers

Last Christmas season, I purchased a 6 pack of 2" to 2 1/2" unfinished wood slice ornaments at Hobby Lobby.

They were $2.99 or $3.99. I didn't make tree ornaments with them but I got an idea to create plant markers instead.

These Decoart Patio Paint Self Adhesive Herb Stencils are no longer readily available online.

I have had them for a while and used them several times.

I cut down the jute ornament hangers to a couple inches, tied them in a knot, and swirled on the herb names using Fusion Mineral Paint in Ash.

If I decide to use these outdoors, I will seal them with a clear matte spray like Painters Touch Clear Ultra Cover.

I found a 1/8" x 48" Hillman Cold Rolled Steel Rod at our local Menards.

The rod was cut into six, 8" lengths. A corresponding width hole was drilled in the bottoms of the wood slices. The rod was pushed into the holes with a snug fit.
