If you like to grow things, perhaps you also like to paint things. Check out Kate's painted plant pot tutorial on Design Sponge. Tape, stickers, and spray paint make this a super easy DIY project.
To make some garden markers from vintage spoons, get the how-to right here from Shrimp Salad Circus. Or if that sounds like too much work, buy a set like this one from Hammermann on Etsy.
Make a tea cup bird feeder with instructions from Cap Creations. The saucer holds the seed and the cup holds the water.(Images from Design Sponge, Hammermann, and Cup Creations)
As neat as the vintage spoon markers are, it seems a shame to hide the prettiest part in the dirt!
ReplyDeleteAh, so true.

that teacup idea is so clever!
ReplyDeleteLovely Ideas!
ReplyDeleteI loved this idea! I asked the spoon artist if he could do a custom combination, and within hours, he had the exact set I asked for as a listing. How wonderful! I think they'll make great gifts for my mother-in-law.
ReplyDeleteThat's a great idea! Now just have to find some nice vintage spoons!
ReplyDeleteWow - thank you so much for including my stamped spoon tutorial in this great list!!! That teacup bird feeder is just darling!

Ya know! I'm thinking a painted or tarnished spoon glued to the cup and saucer makes a great perch for the birds.
ReplyDeleteoh i adore the tea cup and saucer idea - genius!
ReplyDeleteThose are brilliant garden projects. They would probably add style and beauty to every garden. Thank you for those inspirations.
