I’m super excited to have Gina joining us today! Hoosier Homemade friends…meet Gina from The Shabby Creek Cottage!
Hey y’all, I’m Gina from The Shabby Creek Cottage! When I’m not hanging out on my blog, you can find me in my Etsy shop, Shabby Creek Designs, between watching episodes of NCIS.
I’m so excited to be hanging out with my sweet friend Liz today!
Want a quick, useful craft? Chalkboard labels fit the bill! I love chalkboards in almost every form. And I really like those removable chalkboard stickers, but they do lose their staying power after a while – and I was looking for a more permanent solution. Wanna see? Well let’s get to gettin’!
You’ll need:
- Kryon chalkboard spray paint
- some blank mailing labels (I like the larger ones)
- some sort of tape – packing tape, masking tape or painter’s tape
- cardboard for a base (I used the side of an old box)
You could use them on jars, boxes, or even buckets. No matter where you put them, if you use good quality labels then they’re not going anywhere. See – just so simple
Thanks to Liz for inviting me to hang out at Hoosier Homemade today!
So awesome! I’ve been looking for an excuse to buy chalk board paint. Now I can go shopping.
Oh, am I’m pinning this!

I love this. It looks so easy. I think it would be great to give to teachers so they can change the stuff they use to suit the need of there class.

This is such a great idea! I’ve been wanting to try the chalkboard paint – the labels are an easy and useful project. Thank you for the great tutorial. Pinning this one, also.

Thanks for sharing! I always see cute things like this in magazines and online and have always wondered how to make them to avoid the high retail prices!
Love love love this! i just painted a small wall in my kitchen with magnetic paint covered with chalkboard paint.. and now I’m addicted! I’m going to make the labels! Thanks for the idea!
I immediately thought of gift tags. PERFECT!
Thank you Liz and Gina, what an awesome idea! I can’t wait to try this one!!!

I love this idea. I was just discussing the millions of uses of chalk paint with my sister. I’ll have to show her this post!
Best wishes,

cute! I’m in the habit of making my chalkboard paint using powdered grout and craft paint (that way you get lots of cute colors! plus it’s cheaper) and I’m always trying to find something to do with the leftovers. I’ll get some labels and keep them on hand for next time!
my latest chalkboard paint project is here, if you’re interested: http://swanfeet.wordpress.com/2011/09/27/the-chalkboard-tray/
