Plant Markers:
These are the other kinds of tiles I got. Most can easily be used in the same way as the ones featured, but the larger ones would not look as good with beads hanging off them, and might be better for hanging from stakes in front of clumps of plants. There were also much larger decorative tiles that could be used for painting sayings or pictures and hanging as plaques in the garden. You can buy ceramic paints to decorate these, and some of these paints can be baked on to make them last longer. Some accent tiles are too small for markers but too large to hang from them - these can be used in mosaic projects.
If you want the writing to last only a
season, as for vegetable varieties when you aren't sure you will grow the
same varieties next year, you might try using the paint pen, but not the
ceramic varnish top coat. At the end of the season, the writing should
come off with nail polish remover and gentle scraping with a plastic edge or
a fingernail. Next -
