Hello All,
I am making my  "permanent" labels from pieces  of aluminum flashing that
I get at the hardware store or building  center.  I cut it into label
sized pieces, punch a hole near one end  with a heavy leather punch, or
drill a hole (1/4" or so) through a stack of  them.  Then I use a metal
letter and number punch set (that I got at a  garage sale) to stamp the
name of the tree on the label.  I use scrap  insulated copper electrical
wire (from an electrician friend) to fasten the  labels to the tree or
bush.  So far they are working well.  I  think that the weak point may be
the possibility of the tag tearing out by  the hole, so I am making the
holes a bit farther in from the end than I was  at first.  They take a
bit of time to make, stamping each letter or  number individually, but
they should last a long time.

Jim, in  Menomonie, WI
