Claudia, couldn't be simpler. Here are 3 photos showing the back, side view, and completed simple assembly of the 3 components of my plant I.D.: aluminum pet tag with plant name, screw post (also known as Chicago Screw, which is the name of the company I am getting these cool fasteners from), and aluminum tent stake. The Chicago Screw Co. has just come out with a 1/8" diameter screw post in brass which fits perfectly through the hole in the pet I.D. tag and the aluminum tent stake. The samples I received are just a tad too long, so tomorrow I will request a slightly shorter sample and then, BINGO, I will have the perfect components for a weather-proof attractive way to label all the hostas, heuchies, roses, etc. in my garden. It is a bit of an investment initially, but once it's done, it's done. No more relabeling plastic tags or watching them degrade. The pet tags (which are now on sale at Drs. Foster & Smith online for 99 cents---see my other post about this) come in a rainbow of colors. I simply stick to black because I find it is maximally contrast-y to read, but there's green, pink, blue, etc. available. With these cool screw posts, you just screw the screw part into the outer tube, resulting in a smooth shaft with the screw heads on both sides, neat as a pin and a very secure attachment. With the right length of screw post, there won't be any swinging of the I.D. tag or twisting so you can't read it, as I currently experience with the little rings the I.D. tags come with.
