mobile Posted June 30, 2011 Report Share Posted June 30, 2011 I've been making my own plant labels for some time for Utricularia pots, as I find most standard plant labels way too big for small pots. I make them out of plastic milk bottles. I find that one side is textured, so easy to write on with a permanent marker: Some members might remember my frugal seed envelopes too: http://www.cpukforum...showtopic=33651 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deadly Weapon Posted June 30, 2011 Report Share Posted June 30, 2011 I made all of my plant labels with same technicue using old square shaped plastic container. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RL7836 Posted July 8, 2011 Report Share Posted July 8, 2011 ... so easy to write on with a permanent marker: I did not know there was such a creation. Every 'permanent' ink I've used or heard of has disappeared after 0.5-3 seasons in the weather. Finding the writing gone tends to make me a tad upset - especially when it's for a location plant with similar-appearing plants nearby from different locations ...Brother P-Touch TZ labels have resolved my issues ....

I would imagine the texture on plastic milk bottles would facilitate the use of a soft pencil. I have used P-Touch labels on them too.
