black labels
« on: August 25, 2015, 12:43:22 PM »
I've lost/dumped/misplaced the catalogue for the company I get my labels from.

Anyone got a source for these labels?

I'm making my own black labels by cutting up 8 inch pots. Doesn't take long and they work well for me.

Very useful links and I do like the idea of the black labels. On a slightly different tangent ( I hope this is allowed!) but still sundry related, does anyone know of a good source of super sharp thin nosed snipping scissors

Scissors  such as those made for fly-tying etc, will be dainty and have sharp, narrow points - just the thing for snipping off dead leaves or tiny cuttings, I reckon.
