Heather - I used to make the same markers as you using the blinds. See link below. This is the new way that I mark my seedlings and it has worked out very well for me. Occasionally one of the knives gets stepped on and broken, but the name is in the ground, so I didn't lose it. I just make a new knife marker to replace it. The paint has not faded or worn off after 2 seasons. And I absolutely LOVE the clear plastic knives as they don't distract from the looks of my seedling beds.
