DIY Dinosaur Plant Markers

DIY Dinosaur Plant Markers

Spring is finally approaching! It’s time to get out spades from the shed and focus on a gardening craft.

Besides strawberries and rhubarb, I have never managed to get anything past the state of seed, but for those who can’t keep their cauliflowers from their broccoli, I present you these Dinosaur Plant Markers. Katie posted a tutorial for this simple, yet elegant project at Punk Projects. So, head over there and get your hands dirty!

A Dalek planter!

Jackielantern also gives a brief description of her thought process in creating the planter.

I Am Polymethyl Methacrylate

Mooching around Covent Garden between shows on my last matinee day, I came across these gorgeous necklaces and brooches made by Brendan & Ruth from I Am Acrylic. The pair of them design and make all the awesome designs you see here, as well as other jewellery inspired by ‘space and sky and nature and things.’ I really love the simplicity of the icons, and the bold use of colour – the necklaces would look great worn layered together.

Every piece is individually cut on a fretsaw, from acrylic or wood, then hand finished in their Spitalfields workshop. They sell in a number of stores through out the UK, or online at their site and etsy shop.

Herb Graveyard

Spring is on it’s way, and I’m getting my gardens planned out in my head. I need a new spot for my herbs, and I have found the perfect markers for them. Check out this amazing Herb Graveyard from Instructables member PenfoldPlant. I do not have a laser cutter, but I think I can make my own versions, either with wood, or maybe plaster. Any thoughts on how to DIY these great markers?
