Step-by-step

Step 1

We’ve got three different spray solutions to share with you, plus matching templates for the labels. To label your spray bottles, we recommend you use the edding 3000 or edding 400 permanent marker.

Step 2

Arrange your chosen template and copy the design straight onto your spray bottle using an edding 400 permanent marker. The design shown in our example is for the slug-repellent solution using coffee grounds.

Step 3

First, clearly label your slug-repellent bottle by drawing a picture of a slug or snail with a coffee filter underneath it. Design the other two spray bottles in the same way by adding corresponding designs for the citrus solution (deters spider mites) and the potato water (encourages healthy plant growth).
