Making plants markers - need adhesive advice

| I have purchased some ceramic tiles and will print out pictures for plant markers for my garden. My question is what do you recommend for adhesive to attach the pictures? I am debating on laminating the pictures and then adhering them to the tiles with what? I guess I am hoping they will last for several seasons. Could I maybe use the decoupage procedure to seal and adhere the pictures? (I have never decoupaged but I can learn). Once the photos are adhered to the tiles then what to use to adhere the tiles to the plant stake? Thinking about using metal rods of some sort rather than wood (will have to look around at Menards to see that they have for inexpensive metal rods). And, of course, I want to do all this inexpensively but want it to last for a few years. Am I asking for too much?? |

| Decoupage material will melt with the weather. As far as I know, you need to put the labels on raw painted tiles, glaze and bake them to make it really permanent. You can try polyurethane, but it will eventually yellow and crack outdoors. |
