Introduction

All it takes to create this unique indoor garden display is a windowsill, some favorite snapshots, and a little sunshine. Add photo plant markers to an existing flowerpot or use them to dress up new potted plants, and you'll have a unique photo project to give as a gift or keep for yourself.

Create photo plant markers for your flower box


Step 1: Customize your photos


Close up of a photo with creative affect captions on it
HP compact photo printers like the HP Photosmart A826 Home Photo Center make it simple to add creative effects for a variety of occasions. You can add clip art, captions, and borders–all without a PC!

Step 2: Print your photos

Transform your digital photographs into wallet-sized prints using your printer's touchscreen. Many HP Photosmart printers allow you to print several smaller pictures onto one sheet of 4" x 6" photo paper. For best results, print your images on water-resistant photo paper like HP Advanced Photo Paper.

Step 3: Assemble

Cut out pieces of construction paper that are slightly larger than your wallet-sized photos to use as borders for your photos. Glue a wooden stick and a construction paper rectangle to the back of each photo (Tip: Sandwich the stick in between the photo and the construction paper). You can even use craft scissors to give photos an artistic border, decorate your photos with glitter glue, or write a personalized greeting on the back of your photos.
