Beaded Garden Plant Stakes
So you are planting a garden? Why not make some easy garden plant stake to add a little glam while you still are keeping track of the row of seeds. They take less than a half hour to make!
Make these cute garden stakes...gather some 16 gauge wire and your chunky beads. Make sure your beads have large holes to fit 16 gauge wire.
Cut a piece of 16 gauge wire 18" long. The best wire is aluminum because it doesn't rust. First, make a swirl at the top of the wire. Next slide on the big hole beads. Then, at the base of the last bead place a pencil and swirl the wire around to make a loop to trap the beads. !6 Gauge aluminum wire bends very easy.
Your last step is to make the tags that are held by the swirl top. I used some white shrink film but you can use white packaging plastic or paint two coats of waterproof Mod Podge on heavy cardstock to make sturdy tags.
Now I have added a little glam to my elevated garden bed and see exactly where the row of green onion seeds are planted!

These are so cute. They would also make great photo holders if stuck into some type of base- maybe polymer clay? They can also be used to identify cheeses on a charcuterie display
