Also does anyone have an "easy" way to make them? wI'm not handy so I can't cut up alumunium cans, plastic milk jugs didn't work, I don't have any mini-blinds, what else have people tried? I'm thinking maybe I could cut up bleach containers but I have to wait until I use all the bleach to try that and then wouldn't they be kinda round.

Cat litter jugs provide great tags, because you've got 4 more or less flat sides, but the plastic is pretty hard to cut. I use kitchen shears (the kind that cut through small bones & stuff, not just big scissors) and a utility knife, and I still wouldn't recommend it to anyone with arthritis or carpal tunnel or just plain not-strong hands.

BTW, these shears make easy work of cutting up aluminum cans - "pinch" the can near the top and make a small cut, then insert one blade and you can just cut around below the top. Then cut your strips, and cut them off the bottom of the can by cutting across each one. The main use for cans anyhow is for permanent markers for things like shrubs, since you can indent the marking.

Kitchen snips such as you might use for dissecting chicken, grape picker scissors, or even heavy dressmaking shears would do the cutting. Not secateurs.

These labels are also useful for putting on plants going to a stall at a fair.
