how to make small chalkboard tags

Greetings! I’m MeganDVD from Beauty in the Attempt, and I couldn’t be more excited to be guest posting for my “Blog Mom” Gail. I adore everything Gail does, so I jumped at the opportunity to share a craft that is “Gail-worthy.” I chose to take 2 elements that we { Gail and I} love: free “junk” & chalkboard paint. I will admit that the driving force behind this idea was that I have yet to incorporate chalkboard paint into my little world. I know it is sooo 2010, but I would be I fooling myself  if I was not longing for a little chalkboard in my life. Trust me…you will think it is brilliant too. Have a million of these little babies hanging around in a kitchen drawer? Well now you can do something with them….something that is so simple, cheap, and brilliant.

Once you gathered a few here and there over the next  few days, weeks, or  months..add a little paint to them…a little chalkboard paint.

And you will have the cheapest, most adorable chalkboard tags ever. 🙂 Just look…

But what if you don’t have chalkboard paint? Well here is an even more darling secret: use a chalkboard wet erase pen {available at Hobby Lobby so grab that 50% off coupon before you go out which will make it around $3 with taxes}.

This pen will work like magic because as long as you work on a flat, non-textured surface..you will have a tag to use at your delight. After writing on the tag just wash it off with a wet rag. Think of all the colors and the possibilities.
