Sorry I did a very poor description of the tags.

My "DH" (dear husband) has a stamp set (1st picture below) each of those little black pieces has a letter raised on the tip of the black piece. You tap it with a hammer against a piece of copper disk and/or metal disk and it embosses the metal with that letter. You just hammer each letter across until you have the name of the plant across the tag. Very easy and very nice looking. VERY permanent.

Here is a video of a person doing it for jewelry. Now they say use a copper hammer I do not I just use a normal hammer and I usually lay the metal disk on the vice or anything hard since you will be hitting it with a hammer and just start tapping. If she can do it in the video with those fake nails anybody can do it...LOL

The tap set you can find at harbor freight I think it was 15.00 or less. The disk I found at Grainger I bought a 100 and a friend and I split the disk between us.

Hope this makes more sense. Sorry about the previous post.
