Hi, everyone! I’m Julie from Less-Than-Perfect Life of Bliss, where I blog about everything from crafts & decorating to family & faith. I’m a stay-at-home mom to 4 great kids & a wife to an awesome guy that supports my creative addiction & hardly ever rolls his eyes anymore at my crazy ideas.  Feel free to stop over &see me anytime because I love meeting new readers & you never know what I’ll be up to next!

If you’ve never grown your own herbs, you have no idea what you are missing out on. They add a whole new dimension to your favorite dishes & they smell absolutely amazing. I’m like a crazy woman lately, sniffing my herbs every time I walk by them. {Love!} They’re also a great summer design element in your kitchen or outdoor space!

Click here for info on growing herbs, then when you get them home, you can remind yourself which ones are which with these cute little aluminum markers.

I made them using an aluminum baking pan and a pencil. {I love this technique. Someday I’ll show you some other ways to use it.} Just use scissors to cut out the flat pieces of the pan. FYI: you’ll also be sharpening your scissors when cutting the foil…I love multi-tasking!

Next, cut the shape of marker that you want. I made a little flag.

Now, the fun part. Using a sharp pencil, write the name of the herb on the aluminum. Place it on top of a magazine or other semi-soft surface for best results.

Next, make the pick using a bamboo skewer. (These are a staple in my craft room–I use them for all kinds of things!) Lay the tag face down & just wrap the side of the aluminum around the back of the skewer. Add a dot of hot glue to keep it from sliding up & down.

Aren’t these so easy? And I love how they look in my pots!

Now, go get your herbs & make your markers!
~ Julie
