Well, it’s back-to-school next week and this is always a hectic time in our house! I did manage to whip up these cute Chalkboard Tags and I love how versatile, cheap and easy they were!
Here’s how easy they were:)
I purchased a bag of these unfinished, wood circles at Hobby Lobby. They are uner $1 after the %50!
Next, I drilled a hole (large enough to fit a strand of twine) at the very top of each circle.
I then used Rust-Oleum’s awesome Chalkboard Spray Paint! It only took two coats on each circle! I love the texture of this paint and the chalk goes on and wipes of perfect!
After the paint dries, fold a strand of 1-ply jute twine in half and slip the loop through the hole then pull the other end through the loop!
Hang them on a few large mouth mason jars for fun art supply storage! If you are a teacher, this is an easy way to shanty up your classroom!
I also plan to use them for our next cookout to display silverware!
I thought this would be a fun teachers gift for the first day of school! Fill it with what ever you like and write his/her name on the tag!
Only $.25 per tag!
I love how easy and cheap these Chalkboard Tags were to make! My mind keeps swirling with fun ways to use them:)
Thanks so much for stopping by!

Can’t believe I didn’t know that Chalkboard Spray Paint existed. Doing a little happy dance now!
this is adorable!
As one who would love to have granite I just about had a heart attack when I saw your drill poised over your counter with only paper underneath ;-).
LOL! My granite is fairly new and I catch myself about to glue and paint on it all the time. I did think this one through. VERY little pressure was needed on the drill for this one:)
This is adorable! I love chalkboard paint! Thanks for the great idea! I might use this on different storage jars in my pantry!

How fun!! Thank you Erin:)
Do you drill on your granite?
I did for this project but had a thick stack of newspaper underneath. I did not need to use much force for this:)
