Chalkboard Tags



    Several of you asked about where I found the little chalkboard tags on the galvanized buckets
    I shared in my armoire organization post
    They are so simple and easy to make.


    It started with a package of large luggage tags I found at Staples awhile back
    I love big old chunky luggage tags- they are great for so many things.
    tagging vintage items for sale, personalized gift tags or simple banners.


    I used them for this 'Believe' banner recently.


    I wanted something that I could change easily and the chunky tags were perfect.
    It would be simple to make these out of a piece of tin or wood or even use chipboard tags
    but I had these on hand already and thought I would put them to use


    So...
    I took out my trusty Purdy paintbrush & coated several tags with chalkboard paint


    One even coat was all it took to cover them.
    As the paint dries dry, they will start to curl a bit but
    you should be able to just pick them up and curl them right back to flat easily.

    Then I simply wrote what I wanted on the labels and tied them to the buckets 
    I love the idea of using them at a vintage shop and writing the price on them
    and reusing them easily when it sells.


    A quick random post~  it's a busy week over here
    so several larger projects have been on the back burner for a bit.
    but am hoping to get a little chalk painted treasure post up soon :)


    Happy Wednesday!
    See you tomorrow for Feathered Nest Friday!!
