Instructions:
Upload the herb marker file to the software for your Cricut machine. We have more information on uploading files to Cricut Design Space here. Be sure to size the words correctly before cutting to fit your tags. Cut from permanent vinyl.

Once cut, start weeding the excess from the vinyl on each label. Weeding tools make this job a bit easier but they are optional.
Apply transfer tape to the vinyl and carefully remove the backing paper.
Then apply each word to your garden markers using the transfer tape. Be sure to press the vinyl down well.
Repeat the steps above for as many garden markers as you like.
If you want to attach them to a planter, use a drill and drill bit to drill holes where the holes are located in the wood mason jars. Clean up any sharp exposed edges with a grinder. Use caution as the edges of the holes will be really sharp.
Then just use twine to tie on your garden markers.
Fill the planter with dirt and add in plants or start some herbs from seeds.
These garden markers are perfect for any mason jar lover in your life. Make a set for yourself and one to give as a gift!
I love growing fresh herbs in the summer and when they are also cute that makes it even better!
