DIY Plant Markers Supplies

• Glowforge or other laser cutter
• Sheet of baltic birch
• Sheet of acrylic
• Masking (if materials aren’t already masked)
• Paint pens (optional)

DIY Plant Markers Directions

Start by masking your material if it didn’t come already masked. This will save you a ton of time and make the finished product so much prettier.

Turn on your Glowforge and add your material to the bed of the machine.

Open the glowforge app and create a new project. Select open from file and upload the Plant Marker SVG file from your computer.

Find the material you are cutting and adjust your settings according to that. Make sure to adjust any settings depending on if you are engraving, scoring, etc.

Adjust the pieces on the screen to fit on the material you are cutting. I like to nest the pieces together to save on material and the file is already designed for this. If you are using a scrap piece of material you will need to move, adjust, or delete a couple of the files.

Click PRINT in the upper right corner of the screen and hit the glowing button on the machine. It is cutting now!

When finished, remove the pieces from the machine and peel off the masking.

No assembly is required and no glue is needed for this Glowforge project. You can choose to stain the wood, or paint inside the engraved areas.

Project options for plant stakes

There are so many ways to make this project. You can paint the lettering (which is easiest if done before removing the masking tape from the project). You could just cut out the outside shapes of the plant picks and cut out the quotes from acrylic or wood for a 3D look. Mix and match wood, acrylic, stain and paint to make it your own.

I would love to see what combinations of materials and colors you come up with. Please tag me on instagram @BrooklynBerryDesigns with your projects made from this please!
