Plant Markers: 
Some Tiles

When deciding how to make a marker, look at the shapes and sizes.  The set below has two medium-sized tiles that can be used for up to three lines of writing, plus one accent tile that could be hung from one of them, and two smaller ones that could be used in mosaic projects or to mark something small with one or two lines of writing.
