Cheap plant markers

I’m sure all gardeners at one time or another have bought those cute little plastic plant markers. Unfortunately, they are quite expensive. My favorite plant marker currently is good old fashion Popsicle sticks, which can be bought in large quantities at any art or craft store.

But if you are the type of person that likes the look and durability of plastic then we have a cost saving suggestion for you. Someone on the Instructables web site suggests using plastic spoons. He wants you to melt the handle off which creates a nice pointed tip, but that just seems like way too much work not to mention smelly. Just simply cut or snip off the handles and you have cheap plastic plant markers.
