Easy Summer Plant Stakes for Floral Arrangements with Glue Dots

A simple way to greet summer is to make summer themed plant stakes for your indoor plants. You can even add these easy stakes to floral arrangements for a special table accent or to create a themed gift.  All you need are some Glue Dots® and either printed or hand drawn images along with some wooden skewers. I used Bamboo Skewers that my husband tries to keep for grilling but somehow they keep disappearing for craft projects!

 I downloaded these images from the Silhouette store to help me create my plant stakes.  You could also draw or stamp images.  Use what you have…or try Joy’s Life stamps!

I printed the above images out and then used my Silhouette Cameo to cut them out.  I bought my Cameo from Expressions Vinyl.  It’s a good machine.  If you’re looking for a machine that will work with .svg files also consider the Sizzix Eclips and the KNK Zing.  I love them both.

Here are things I’ve made with the Silhouette Cameo, Silhouette SD, Sizzix Eclips and the KNK Zing.

 I’m using the Glue Dots 3/16-Inch Mini Dot Rollfor this project. Simply stick Glue Dots to the skewer and attach your cutout images!

I like to wrap the little dots around the skewer for the best hold. You can even color your skewer for added color.

This is a fun and easy way to decorate your home or create a themed gift.

Even the little ones can get in on the fun. Just be sure to cut the sharp ends off of the skewers first if little helpers are around. 😉
