Herb Tags (Free Download)

April 1, 2010 by Brooke | Freebies | No comments

As promised to those who subscribe to our newsletter, we’re releasing a brand new, non-desktop freebie today! In honor of spring and my new green thumb, I designed tags to label homegrown herbs. No more unidentified sprouts or confusing look-alikes!

Here’s what you’ll need to make them:

Printed tags (downloaded from our Freebies page)
Scissors
Hole punch
Paper clips (or other fastener, like string)
Packaging tape (optional) *
Potted herbs

Once you have those together, follow these steps to put together your own tags:

1. Cut out each tag.

2. Optional: Sandwich each tag between two pieces of packaging tape (a little trick I call "poor man's laminate"), and trim.

3. Use the hole punch to cut out a hole where indicated.

4. If using a paper clip as your fastener, bend it slightly apart.

5. Use the bent paper clip or other fastener to attach the tag to your pot, and you're finished!

* NOTE: I strongly recommend laminating the tags in some way, as this will make them more durable and water-resistant. I even dropped one of mine into a puddle in the sink and pulled it out safely!

We’d love to hear how you used your tags, so be sure to leave a comment below!
