    How to make simple chalkboard tags out of shutter slats. They're perfect for identifying drinks at a celebration or wedding. Easy to make. No shutter slats? Use paint sticks! #MyRepurposedLife #repurposed #shutter #slats #beveragetags #chalkboard #tags #easy #diy #project via @repurposedlife

    What? Chalkboard tags? Yes, I have another great couple of projects today! What are two of my favorite things? Chalkboards and my Silhouette CAMEO™. Here you can see that I’ve been busy with both!

     

     

    Silhouette Foil Paper (7a)

     

     

     

     

    IMG_1810Last Spring, I got these doors from my niece Marie. I’ve been thinking and thinking of what I can do with them. After making the original Beverage Tags, I decided to make some more. So, I popped out all of the slats in the top of ONE door.

     

    IMG_5097I cut them with my compound miter saw.

     

    Then, I drilled the holes, and painted them with some chalkboard spray paint.

     

     

    chalkboardI tied some jute on them.

    over 21Voila!

    sweet tea (chalkboard)Now that I have all of those Chalkboard Tags made, I have been thinking of how I am going to package them to sell at Glendale.
    I bought some baggies in the jewelry dept at Walmart, but they were too small. Then I ordered some cellophane bags off of Ebay, and they were perfect. However, I needed some labels.
    Silhouette America sent me some of their newest products that were unveiled at CHA over the Summer:
    foils and sticker sheet
    Silhouette Foil Paper (2a)I chose the silver foil paper. I used the print & cut feature and printed these tags on my printer. You can see the black registration marks, that allow the CAMEO to know just where to cut.

    Silhouette Foil Paper (3a)I loaded the sheet of paper into the CAMEO using the mat.

    Silhouette Foil Paper (4a)After the tags were cut, I removed the foil from the mat, and then peeled off the excess foil.

    Silhouette Foil Paper (5a)I placed the sticker (label) onto my cellophane bag.

     

    Silhouette Foil Paper (7a)I stuffed the bag with my chalkboard tags and sealed it. Packaging really IS what sells, right?
    Silhouette America is having a great promotion between now and September 30, 2012. Check out this great deal:

    Although Silhouette generously supplied me with the specialty papers, all opinions are my own.

      Great packaging. I have some narrow cutoffs of hardboard already painted with chalk paint from some blackboards I made, so I'm going to make some tags like you did!!

      You're so creative. I don't think I would've thought to make tags out of a door, for cryin' out loud! That's so cool.
