Few days ago I posted about this great idea.
Since it's so easy, inexpensive, and with immediate result, I couldn't wait to make my own.
... A bike ride to the river,
... a backpack full of pebbles,
... a whiteout pen,
... a coat of clear glaze
...and I have my basket of name tags!
I made mine writing the name in white, using a whiteout pen... dries almost immediately and I had my basket ready in my kitchen in about 20 minutes.
(I'm excluding the time needed to get to the river, pick the rocks, bike back in a hot, steamy, 95 F, morning, and rinse the rocks - and take a shower, too -...).
xox, d.


Those are fun! I want to do some on white rocks with a black sharpie. Hmmmmm. Another thing on my to do list.
