Seems like in every forum I run into people with the same issues with plant labeling. The plastic ones degrade, break and get blown away, sharpies fade, and the nice ones are often just too pricey to buy the gazillion most of us need. And being inherently cheap, as well as an avid recycler, I've been making my own permanent plant labels.

I've tried explaining how, but decided, since a picture is worth a thousand words, to show the steps. Hope this solves some problems for some of you out there :)

All you need are: an aluminum pie pan, a pair of old scissors, a ball point pen, and a marker.
