Chalkboard Week: Chalkboard Labels

This post may contain affiliate links. Please read my privacy policy.

This week is going to be full of super fun because it is chalkboard week! ย 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. ย 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. ย 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. ย I usually do 2-3 coats to get really good coverage.
