Window Shade Tags

Maybe it’s because I kept tripping over an old shade stored in my garage. There’s definitely a measure of liking to repurpose. And now I enjoy seeing the cut down window shades as garden markers.

You don’t have to round one of the sides of the cut blinds but I do to make them prettier in a pot. The rounded edges also don’t poke back when I retrieve a tag stored in the old glass milk bottle

I also use an indelible marker so the plant names don’t easily wash off.

Round off one end with scissors and store for easy retrieval. (charlotte ekker wiggins photo)

There are more expensive and fancier plant tags around but these work just fine for me.
