Cheap plant labels!

Great idea Hel

Like this, must give it a try!

Brilliant idea hel.

wow Hel, you come up with some great ideas

Thanx guys. Irish I'll try and come up with some more penny pinching ideas I drive my hubby (Bob) mad at times as I always try to find something to 'make' out of other peoples junk but he's happy as I do save him money in the long run. Sadly I'm a jack of all trades and a master of none but I do really love a bargain.Hel.xxx.

well im impressed so far Hel, cant wait to see what you come up with next

Another brillant idea.

Ingenious!

love your labels i use them too. last year i had too come up with some labels for a show. i found an old silver venitian blind in the shed. a few snips with the sissors and hey presto....

great idea - I find that "normal" markers are too small for me to write the name properly; I end up using some kind of shorthand that always takes me ages to decode. Thse can be made as long as needed.

we had an old wooden blind at the local charity office; when the strings went I grabbed it, took it apart, gave the slats a coat of weather-proofing, and put some together in loose weave for a trellis - had to tie the joints eventually, but two years later it's s till more-or-less intact.

I don't know if plastic slats would be strong eough to use as trellis - maybe secured against a wall to help take some of the strain?

lol or how about art? slats weaved in and out, bent into curves and arcs, for a free-form scuplture?

You can also use empty plastic containers. Same thing applies just cut into strips and mark as appropriate.
