Several of you asked about where I found the little chalkboard tags on the galvanized buckets
I shared in my armoire organization post

They are so simple and easy to make.
It started with a package of large luggage tags I found at Staples awhile back
I love big old chunky luggage tags- they are great for so many things.
tagging vintage items for sale, personalized gift tags or simple banners.

I used them for this ‘Believe’ banner recently.
I wanted something that I could change easily and the chunky tags were perfect.
It would be simple to make these out of a piece of tin or wood or even use chipboard tags
but I had these on hand already and thought I would put them to use

So…
I took out my trusty Purdy paintbrush & coated several tags with chalkboard paint
One even coat was all it took to cover them.
As the paint dries dry, they will start to curl a bit but
you should be able to just pick them up and curl them right back to flat easily.
Then I simply wrote what I wanted on the labels and tied them to the buckets
I love the idea of using them at a vintage shop and writing the price on them
and reusing them easily when it sells.

LOVE the idea! Thanks :)I think chalkboard paint is so fun.
I thought that is probably how you made those, but now I know for sure! I love that idea. So great!
Love your chalkboard tags Courtney.
Here's a little tip for you… paint one side of your tag with a little water before you paint the other side with paint and it won't curl.
Thanks for sharing your tutorial – they look so cute, and sound so easy to make!
Love them! And your write – it's great to be able to use them over and over again!

Love this idea!!
I think I'm the last person on the planet who hasn't used the chalkboard paint although I have tons of ideas pinned to my Pinterest board! Will be adding this as well — very cute!
Oh I Just love this! I have been looking all over for Galvanized tubs and can not find any. I did find chalkboard contact paper and have been using that for labels along with my Stampin' Up! Punches but need to find the tubs!
Very cute!
