Garden Goods That You Can Easily Stencil
Since summer is headed our way, I thought I’d share some stenciling ideas for the garden. Why reserve all the fun labeling and signs for indoors. We need to add some vintage charm to our gardens, patios, and decks, too. S
o get ready for garden goods that you can easily stencil. And take a look at my stenciling video for some simple stenciling tips.
A while back, I bought a large package of leather gardening gloves. At the time, I mentioned I might stencil the numbers “1” and “2” on a pair. Someone left a comment suggesting I stencil “L” and “R” for left and right. So that’s what I did(!).
The leather is soft and beautiful, and I think the “L” and “R” make them fun. I sprayed on some matte polyurethane to protect the stenciled letters. The stencils I used for all of these projects are the simple type you can find in the stationary section of any store.
I bought this vintage metal I-don’t-know-what-it-is tool for 50ยข at a garage sale, thinking it would be fun to stencil on.
Since the edges are a bit sharp, it would make a good piece to hang on a fence, rather than, say, attach it to a stake (as I had previously planned). Then no one will accidentally rub against it and cut themselves.
I sprayed it with matte finish polyurethane to protect the stencil and that blunted the edges a bit. It sold for $15.
This taping knife made a fun garden sign as well.
I I rescued this piece of barn board from a pile set out for garbage in a nearby neighborhood. The edges were a little rough, so I cleaned them up with my miter saw. It makes a nice addition to the garden also, right? It also sold for $15.
Ditto this “Fleurs” sign (French for flower), made with a piece of old fencing that I bought at a garage sale for a buck. Another $15 sale.
Ironstone in the garden? Why not! These signs are super simple to make, so give them a try. It sold for $15.

Bye for now,
I’d love it if you’d pin me!
Cute ideas!
Your Garden sign is my favorite on that piece of crusty yard tool.
What unique items to stencil on! I just received some great stencils and I am anxious to find things to stencil them on. I guess I will look out of the box!
I agree with AnnMarie & my favorite is the garden gadget! Love them!
Loved your signs, Pinned Welcome.
I got quite a chuckle from the L/R stenciled gloves! How many times have I gone to put mine on the wrong hand?!!! Too many to count! I've been working on renovating my house exterior and landscaping, so there's always lot of projects either in the works or in my head. Right now I have it on my agenda to re-paint my front door within the week – I painted it earlier this year and am not lovin' the color. Ugh!
The item you stenciled "GARDEN" on is for putting the goop on the surface that you are tiling, I believe. When tiling, you don't spread on the goop like butter. You need to have blank spaces where the goop can spread out, or have a place to go, when you put on the tiles. It creates an even layer time after time. Have you ever seen someone lay tile? HGTV has plenty of shows where they tile many different kinds of surfaces, like backsplashes, showers, walls, floors, etc.
I love the garden sign on the metal what ever it is! lol! The gloves are super fun too! Thanks for sharing with SYC.
