DIY Scrabble Tile Herb Garden Markers Tutorial from 5DollarDinners.com

These almost make you want to plant an herb garden, don’t they??

Last week, I shared a simple DIY Herb Garden post with you…and now, here are the markers!

I may be able to whip up dinner in a jiffy, or set up amazing meal plans for you…but I’m really not the most crafty person in the world!

But this is a craft that I can get behind and get done.

  • Craft sticks
  • Scrabble Tiles
  • Hot glue gun

Boom. Done.

And now you’ll have the most stylish herb garden on the block 😉

DIY Scrabble Tile Herb Garden Markers

How to make herb markers with Scrabble tiles
Prep Time10 minutes mins
Active Time10 minutes mins
Course: diy
Cuisine: diy
Keyword: dit scrabble tile markers
Yield: 4 markers

Equipment

  • hot glue gun

Materials

  • Assorted wooden letter tiles (found on Amazon or at your local craft store in the woodworking aisle)
  • Hot glue sticks
  • Hot glue gun
  • Wood craft sticks, wide
  • Clear wood sealant or protector, optional

Instructions

  • Begin by arranging the letters so they spell the out the plants you wish to mark. Depending on how many words you are making and how long they are, you might want several packages of letters.
  • Once the letters are arranged, place a dab of hot glue on the back of each (be generous) and start atthe top of the craft stick pressing them in place. Press firmly so they adhere well.
  • Keep working your way down spelling out the word of your choice.
  • Once done, you can apply a clear varnish if you wish to protect from the elements. Or, leave for a natural weathered look.

And now, you’ll need some recipes for fresh herbs!
