This is what I came up with while eating at Applebees... good place..lol

I got a straw from the bar area while waiting for my giftcertificate..

Well, as I was thinking, what a good thick an wide straw, if I cut this up into pieces, I can band my MGs. Well, it looks like it will work. They can be out in the rain and not get messed up, they won't fade, and you can get any color you need. You have to make some kind of Table of Contents for your straws of each color so you know which is which color. But, I am assuming that you can also write on the band if it is white and then you don't need any table. The only thing though, we would have to worry about it fading.

They band hummers with metal bands.

Cut the straw the long way, I did it with scissors, to make the slit. Then cut circles and you already have the slit. You can then slip them on very easily.

I had seen this question asked, but did not see a response regarding the tags for the MGs. So, here is my version and I hope it helps.
