Gather your spoons and paint them with your choice of colour. I used a low gloss matt finish paint.

I painted both sides of the spoons so that I can write watering and sun conditions that the plants require on the backs.

Once dry, write the plant name on them with permanent marker and put them in your planters. You can also use a normal pencil to mark them if you want it to be re-usable.

You can put stickers on them for children that haven't learnt to read yet.
