How to make chalkboard labels

Welcome to Transformation Thursday! It’s the one day of the week we all get together to celebrate getting stuff done. No matter if you’ve been coming around for months (or years), or this is your very first transformation rodeo – everyone is welcome to link up your projects at the bottom of this post.

This week’s edition is super, SUPER simple. So simple that I almost didn’t post it. It almost seemed too easy. But, it’s kinda genius. 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) Tape a sheet of labels to the cardboard Use Krylon chalkboard paint to spray several light layers of paint on the labels. Then peel off the tape, along with the outer edge of the label sheet (if your labels have them). Now let them dry. You can use them as is, or use a punch to create shapes out of them.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 :)

*Krylon supplied me with the paint for this project (and others to come). But, it should come as no surprise that I prefer this brand, I’ve been chanting “Krylon Rocks!” for years now :)
