Herb Garden Charms

I finally got myself a metal stamping kit the other day and I am totally in love with this thing. It was super inexpensive too! ($12.99 at Harbor Freight tools)
I got some roof vent material and cut it into strips so it was easier to work with.

 

I also broke out the beads and wire for some embellishment on this project.

 

I used a stick pin washer for a stencil of a circle. . .it was just about the perfect size for each of my tags.

 

I used a black sharpie marker to darken the lettering a little and used the awl to stamp a hole in the top of the charm so I could hang in on my herb planter.

 

 

I think it turned out super cute. . . I was in love with my little planter already but these really finished it off. Check out my transformation post on the planter here.

 

I was having so much fun tagging all of my plants, I even did one for my strawberries. This tag is square and hung with jute though. . .
PS-Jute is soooo much cheaper when you buy it at a hardware store and not a craft store. . . Just thought I would pass that one if you guys didn't already know. Its around $5 at Michaels compared to less than $2 in the paint and home improvement section of Wal-Mart.

 

 

I'm linking up to the CSI challenge on this one. . .
