Supplies
Oven Bake Clay
Rolling Pin
Rubber Stamps
Knife
Instructions
Roll out the clay into a thickness that’s not too thin (you don’t want them to break in half) and not too thick (you want them to bake). Your package instructions might offer suggestions for thickness.
Cut the clay into thin strips with the knife. I made mine about 4 inches long and about ¾ inch wide. Cut the bottom of the strip at an angle on each side to make a point, so that it is easier to put into soil.
Using your rubber stamps, add plant names or cute sayings onto the clay. Be sure to allow enough space to add all of the letters. (You might want to line up the stamps to the side before you start pressing them into the clay to make sure that all of the letters will fit.)
Place on a parchment lined baking tray. Bake according to the clay package instructions. I baked mine at 250 degrees for 25 minutes in the oven.
Remove and let cool fully. You could paint these afterwards if you would like.
