The Pink Elephant Challenge

This week's challenge at The Pink Elephant was to create something by recycling something. Since spring is here my crafting and spare time starts going towards my gardening so this week I made something for my garden. They're plant markers. Since they're going to be stuck in the pots they had to be weather proof. I used some old silverware (knives) and pop cans as my recycled items. I used alcohol inks on my knives to give them some color. The flower & butterfly we cut from the pop cans using my cuttlebug and the tags I punched out with one of my punches. I had fun creating these and was thrilled to find out I could die cut and punch the aluminum cans. I see some more garden crafting out of these in the future.


Here's the plant markers.
