This week's Iron Craft challenge was another recycling challenge, where we were to use something that was going to be thrown out.
I decided to reuse an aluminum pan that came with some IKEA cinnamon rolls to make some garden tags, so I don't need to remember where I planted what.
Materials:
aluminum foil pan
pencil
old scissors
Sharpie
Styrofoam tray (or other soft surface, an old phone book would probably work too)
I cut the pan (using old scissors) into rectangles. Then, I carefully folded over the sharp edges. After that, I sat them on a styrofoam tray while I wrote (pressing hard) on them with a dull pencil. Finally, I went back and used a black Sharpie to write again so it would stand out a little more.
I hold two full time jobs, one working for a software company as a Quality Assurance Manager and the other as a Mother of two girls.

I need to do this, all my old markers are unreadable now.
Cute! These would also be cute glued to bamboo skewers (or clothespin) and topped with a gingham bow and then used to id dishes at a buffet.
