Chalkboard Week: Chalkboard Labels

July 15, 2013 By Shannah 4 Comments

This week is going to be full of super fun because it is chalkboard week!  I will be sharing lots of chalkboard projects that I have been working and some others from awesome bloggers throughout the week.
Today, we are starting out with a ridiculously simple project using clothespins, some wooden labels and chalkboard paint to make chalkboard labels.

Chalkboard Clothespin Labels

We are in the process of redoing H’s bedroom and I want to make it easier for her put things into their proper place.  For that, labels are our best friends.
But, I wanted to be sure we could reuse the labels as she grows and the things in her room change.  The easiest way to make labels that can be changed all the time is to use chalkboard paint.

Start by painting the wooden pieces with chalkboard paint.  I usually do 2-3 coats to get really good coverage.
DSC_7398_wmGrab some mini clothespins and hot glue them to the back of the labels once the paint is dry.
DSC_7377_wmDSC_7375_wmOnce the glue sets, you are ready for some labeling fun!
DSC_7404_wmDSC_7421_wmHave you worked with chalkboard paint recently? Do you find that you label just about everything for kids?

You can find the list of great parties I link up to each week here.
