Liberally apply glue/sealer to area for each image and slide image into place. Gently smooth out any wrinkles or bubbles with your fingertips.

Using a damp sponge, wipe over image and around edges to remove any stray glue.

Repeat until all your images and plant names are in place.

Let dry thoroughly.

Check for bubbles while they dry. If some develop, smooth gently. If they are already set, pierce with a pin or craft knife, then smooth. It won’t even show when your piece is done.

Back (Optional):

Paint back of each tag with two coats of acrylic paint.

Embellish (Optional): Use a wide nib pen to draw outlines, background patterns or border trims on front. Run pen around edge to give a nice finished look.

Seal:

Using a sponge brush, apply at least two coats of acrylic-based polyurethane. Since markers will be exposed to elements, three or four would be better. You’ll also see how additional coats add a special depth. Your markers will look as if you hand painted them!

Mount:

Using appropriate glue or fasteners, attach each plant label tag to a stake.

The downside: you do pay a shipping charge, so you may want to wait and order a number of photos or photo products at one time to make it more economical. Print costs for 4x6 inch photos range from about 19 cents to 29 cents, depending on company.

Wal-Mart.com's prints are inexpensive and bonus is you can upload your photos to their website and then pick them up at your local store and avoid shipping charges. Photo stores like RitzCamera.com or WolfCamera.com are also good options because you can either upload your photos to their website and pick them up at a local store in as little as an hour, or you can drop off your memory card at store and pick up your prints later.

PRINT YOUR PHOTOS AT THE DRUGSTORE Digital printing is now available at drugstore chains such as Walgreens and Longs. You can bring in your memory stick and use their photo kiosk to crop and edit your images and then print them. The cost is about same as an online printing service, but you have to stand there at kiosk and edit/upload your photos. Not something I really want to do, nor do I want to wait in line while someone else finishes their photo order. The good news is these drugstores also offer online photo services so you can upload your photos to their website and you can pick up your prints at their store usually next day.

The other option is you can drop off your memory card or CD at drugstore's photo department and pick up your prints anywhere from an hour later to a day later, depending on service selected, just like "old days" of 35mm film. The print cost is about same as full service online photo finishers (less shipping fee). There are frequent sales, so per-print cost can be relatively low if you hit a sale, but you don't have option of cropping or enhancing your images unless you edit your photos then burn them to a CD first.

My suggestion is to experiment with several methods and find best one that works for you. Whatever you do, don't just let all those digital photos pile up in your memory card or on your computer, get them printed so you can show them off. Of course you can also share them online with family and friends, but that's another article….
