RE: Re: hybridizing...

 

I’m using the plastic venetian blinds for hybridizing tags.  I used to cut up large heavy duty foil roasting pans, but stopped because the only ones I could find were textured.  The foil was good because when you used a ball point pen it embossed the foil—no fading.

Great ideas for tags, from both Dennis and Bill. Thanks for posting photos, too. I've been scratching my head and wondering what to do. I use large plastic tags, and then the jays pull them out of the ground. One of these methods might foil those jays.

ps I have been using plastic "key tags" that are sold to the automative industry to mark keys.  They are cheap and disposable and hold up to any weather.

I ran out of tags!  I still use the tags I crafted back in 1999 from plastic venetian blinds with a hole puncher and a black sharpie marker.  I originally had about 200 tags.  I still have many of them but I've made so many crosses this year that I'm down to my last 4 tags!  Those will be used up quickly today.... then I don't know what I'm going to do.  I'll deal with that problem in about 30 minutes from now, I guess.
