garden marker - part three

(for all three parts of the "garden marker tutorial" click HERE)

so, you should have:

a crimped can lid and a stamped (or otherwise decorated) label

next:

using mod podge, adhere your paper label to the lid

then generously coat the top of the label with more mod podge

this will help keep the rust from creeping onto your label

... as well as weatherproofing it

next:

carefully smooth your mod podge coat

(it doesn't have to perfect)

find the top center hole and enlarge it using your awl

(this is where the wire will fit)

next:

using a piece of aluminum wire (approx 18 inches long or so)

bend one end like this:

slip your can lid over the hook and slightly pinch the loop 

(that will keep your lid more secure on the hanger)

voila!

a really cool garden marker:

reduce

re-use

recycle
