Creative idea! Just put a cork in it!

2016-07-12

Just put a cork in it!

This is the real corkspirit post, you need that special label for your plants, but every label you buy is always getting off with the time? Here take this solution for free! 
No more trying to remember which seeds I planted where … these guys are functional and keep the garden looking great! If you dont have any wine corks for this craft, just buy them from here

 

What you need:
wine corks
bamboo skewers
drill and drillbit about the size of your skewers
finepoint permanent marker
plant trimmer

Just follow the steps!

1.
First, write out your plant names on each cork.  I started out with a regular fat Sharpie, and the results were a bit sad.  Then I used a finer Sharpie, and the results were only slightly less sad, because guess what? I have terrible handwriting!


2. Carefully drill into the bottom of each cork–make sure to drill directly into the center of the cork so you don’t drill out the side into your hand!  I drilled a little over an inch deep into mine, or about the length of the corkscrew part of the bit.


3. If you’ll be using these for potted plants, trim the bamboo skewers to a length that will fit using a pair of plant trimmers.


4. Insert the end of the skewer into the hole you drilled–it should be a tight fit, so you’ll need to twist and push the cork onto the skewer so that it goes all the way in.



5. That’s it! Your seeds and plants are all name-tagged up and ready to go! Now all you have to do is keep them alive …
