Every year, we plant a small garden in our back yard.  It’s a nice way to connect with nature and teach the kids all kinds of lessons about where their food comes from and how it grows.  This year, we made our own Wooden Spoon Garden Markers. 

It’s pretty easy, honestly. You don’t have to be an accomplished artist to make these cute garden markers.  You just need a few simple inexpensive materials. You can pick up cheap wooden spoons at the Dollar Store.  I used hair spray to coat them, it gives it a shine and protects the paint, and there’s no need for an acrylic overlay!

EASY WOODEN SPOON GARDEN MARKERS

Wooden Spoon Garden Markers

Here’s how to make these cute Wooden Spoon Garden Markers:

Materials:

  • Craft Paint ( We have this 18 Piece Apple Barrel Acrylic Paint Set that works great)
  • Paint Brushes
  • Wooden Spoons
  • Black Sharpie
  • Hairspray

You can pick up most of these items at your local Dollar Tree!

Garden Marker Instructions:

  1. Paint the spoons all white, allow to dry.
  2. Decide which vegetables you need each spoon for and paint a picture on the large part.
  3. Use the sharpie to write the name of the vegetable down the spoon handle. (You can paint this if you have a fine brush, but we think it is easier to use a marker)
  4. Allow the spoons to dry completely.
  5. In a well-ventilated area, spray the spoons (front and back) with aerosol hair spray. The hair spray will coat the spoons protecting the paint and giving them a nice shine! 

That’s all there is to it! I love how cute these look in the garden and can’t wait to see our veggies start growing!
