Stamped and Beaded Garden Markers

Do you have a vegetable garden or know someone who does? It's on my very long list of things to do/try, but my sister has a beautiful garden and she loved these garden markers I made for her.
Here's what you need to make a set to adorn your own garden or to give to your favorite gardener:
Start by stamping your labels. You'll need a hard durable work surface. If you have a steel bench block, great. Otherwise find a concrete floor or patio. Masking tape works well as a guide for letter placement. These metal markers are pretty soft so I only needed a tap or two to get a good impression.
Now cut the wire from the roll leaving a long enough tail to fasten to the opposite corner of the marker. Repeat the loop and wrap process to finish. Adjust the shape of the wire coil as desired.
