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!!
