ADD A LITTLE WHIMSY WITH A DIY GARDEN SIGN

A homemade garden sign is one of those little touches that make so much difference in a garden. This article includes instructions on how to set about making your own sign and also shows examples with some great catchy quotes. It can be as simple as a chalkboard to tell visitors “I’m in the garden!” to clever puns and more. This comes from an article by Kathy Woodard which I found on The Garden Glove website.

I love a little charm and whimsy in the garden, don?t you? And the garden is also the perfect place for a homemade DIY project as well. What better way to accomplish both things than with a garden sign you make yourself? Using one of these ideas, or a cute or inspirational quote of your own, make a garden sign for your special space that matches your personality. And consider using repurposed materials. The garden is a great place to implement habits that help keep our planet healthy, one project at a time. Ok, I?m off to the garden to plan my sign! Our feature project, above, is a DIY market sign from ?Simply Chic?. The tutorial is short and easy, because the project is short and easy! You see signs like these in shops selling for $30- $50 all the time, and she made this from leftover wood and some stencils. Chic for cheap!
From ?The Elegant Nest?, this hand painted garden sign is easier than it looks! Tutorial and step by step photos. She learned the technique from ?Miss Mustard Seed?, and you should pop on over to her site as well, she is one of the Queens of painted furniture! Great job on this sign by Laura!
