Tree sign ideas needed!

I've replied to a few posts here and have been lurking for a while, but now I have a question that I'm hoping someone can help me with.
I have recently planted several fruit trees, some with three different varieties grafted to the same main branch. Because of these 'franken-trees', as I call them, I'm wanting to make some sort of label or sign that I can hang from them so that I know what each are growing. Right now I have the little tags that the nursery puts on them, but I don't like that in the long run. I want something that will not wrap itself around the branch from which it hangs, and will not get entangled into the others signs/labels. I thought of wire - go from one corner of the label to the other loosely and hanging off the branch - but that leaves me with the label itself. Any ideas of anything that would hold up to sun, heat, wind and water for many years?

I'm still on the concrete kick!
Sorry these pics are blurry, it's always evening when I am making these, and not good for photography.

i'm am totally non-educated in the way of waterproof sealers.
my project for the afternoon is to repot an ivy plant i have and i want to paint my own container but waterproof it so that when i water it the pot and bottom container won't get destroyed.
so my request is some info on anything and everything you guys know about waterproofing something, especially over acrylic paint.
and also, where i could find said sealer.
theres a hardware store nearby, would that be a good place to look?
THANK YOU!
