Everything is blooming and we're still loving garden crafts!  Today I'm sharing a fun recycled craft that turns disposable baking pans into cute tin garden markers!  This is a great kid-friendly craft project!

Materials Needed:

Let's Make Some Garden Markers:

1.  Cut the bottom out of your baking dish.
2.  Rub the baking dish with the scissors' handles to smooth out the bumps.

(Note:  The corners of pan will be sharp.  My eldest actually nicked his finger on a sharp edge! So just be careful.)

3.  Place the baking sheet on top of a piece of corrugated cardboard.  Use a pen to draw your designs.

5.  Flip your designs over so that your drawings feel bumpy.  (Or, just color the side you drew on if you like that look.)
6.  Use Sharpie Markers to color your designs in.

7.  Glue them onto popsicle sticks with E6000 Glue.

(We made these during a playdate with friends.  Aren't the designs cute?)
