Easy DIY Butterfly Garden Markers Instructions:

Cut the straight part of a wire hanger for each butterfly marker. The length of a wire hanger is just about perfect for a garden marker, and these markers are an excellent way to use up wire hangers gathered from dry cleaning.

Use black outdoor paint to paint the wires black. You don’t have to do this step, but I liked how the black looked in the garden better than the white.

Once the paint dries, flip the butterflies over and add a line of glue across the butterfly bodies

Stick a wire into the glue, then add another layer to seal the wire inside the glue.
Wait for 24 hours for the glue to completely dry.

Once the glue is dry, write the name of your plants on the wings of the butterflies using a permanent marker.

If you grow something else later, you can wipe away the marker with a rubbing alcohol wipe and write in a different name for the new plant.

Place the butterfly garden markers in your garden or use them in potted plants so you can easily remember what plants you have growing in your garden!
