I use old popsicle sticks to label my plants in the pots. U know........ write on it and slide it down one side of the container. They work well and last a while. I've ran low lately so I was happy to see these in the craft section of walmart. 1000 sticks for $5 With the reusability factor being there I think I may have just bought enough for a lifetime.
Well, that was a good bargain!! I don't think we have that many on hand but we do keep a few smaller boxes around the house. They are handy for so many things ... and you can make popsicles with them too.
My eldest son uses them to make stuff for his model railway. It's amazing just what you can do with lolly sticks. 1000 for $5 seems like a great price to me.
