Instructables user mountainmanna has noticed that used mini-blinds are perfect for re-purposing as plant markers. They’re lightweight, rustproof, designed to hold up to continued sun exposure, and have a nice treated surface that takes ink or pencil very well. Her tutorial shows you how to cut them up for use.
