Chalkboard Tags

Hi, hope everyone is having a wonderful weekend and enjoying the beautiful weather! I've been so busy lately with spring cleaning and getting the garden ready. I thought I will share this small project with you today:Chalkboards tags
 Unfinished wooden ornaments purchased at the craft store:
Spray painted them with chalkboard paint:
They are so versatile and can be used in so many ways around the house. As food and drink labels:
Close-up on the tags:

Here they dress up the tops of my apothecary jars on the kitchen counter:
I used the color accent on my camera to highlight the green  color of the ribbon:
 


Don't they look adorable dressed up in spring colors?
Chalkboard tags come in very handy to organize the clutter in our bathroom:
Sorry about the picture quality here, as there is no natural light in this bathroom:
I hot-glued the lace around the tags and attached them on the baskets with clothespin tied with ribbon.I have open shelving on the bathroom walls, so keeping everything clutter free is a challenge. These tags help keep things organized:
Thanks for your visit!It is always a pleasure to hear from you:) Before I sign off today I would like to express my thanks to Terri @ A Creative Princess for featuring my spring cloches:HERE

Until next time,
~Poppy~

    What a clever idea. There are so many uses for something like this - but I love the way you've used the spring ribbon and put them with the lemons.

    Well, I didn't know that chalkboard paint was available in a spray paint. Where have I been? Your tags are super cute, and I love those lemons in that apothecary jar.

    gorgeous.

    chalkboard paint is not something that you can easily find in our Italian country side... and you cant take paint in the airplane either....

    but i gotta find a way...
    your tags are beautiful and this chalkboard paint is so practical.
