• Step 1

  Select twigs/branches/sticks that are fairly straight and the appropriate size for what you’re planning to use them for. Cut them to length if necessary.

• Step 2

  Carefully trim off a layer of bark at the top of each stick. Keep whittling until you have a smooth flat surface to stamp on.

• Step 3

  Spray newly trimmed portion of sticks lightly with sealant BEFORE stamping them. The “carrots” marker above is an example of what happens if you skip this step. The letters bleed at the edges because the ink seeps into the porous wood. Let dry until no longer tacky to the touch (about 20 minutes).

• Step 4

  Stamp your new garden markers with the names of whatever plants you are planning to use them for. Let the ink dry (about 20 minutes). Spray again with sealant. Wait at least 2 hours and apply another coat of sealant. Let dry.

• Step 5

  Move them to their new home in your garden.
