cute plant name stakes

19 years ago

hey guys, i just have a little idea i got from a book and i'd love to share it. i cant wait to do it. anybody got any broken or chipped terra-cotta pots out there? well how about taking wire hangers and looping them around to hold a little broken part of a pot and writing the name of the herb (or whatever) on it with paint or marker! and even spray painting the wires with copper paint. it looks so cute and i cant wait to get a broken pot so i can do it!

Sounds like a great idea, I am wondering if one couldn't drill a small hole in the top and put the wire through that way. Guess it would be worth a try. Thanks for the idea.

You mean I can save those broken pots? LOL I've seen the tiny pots (about 11/2 or two inches) and using a copper wire they wired the pot through the hole in the bottom of the pot and printed the name of the plant on the pot. I thought they were cute. They used sorta a sheperd's hook made of the copper wire.
