Tag It

Have you seen these wooden tags at the Dollar Store in the craft section?I'm sure you can find something similar at most craft stores.
They're ideal for painting with chalkboard paint!
However, the wood is so thin that the moisture in the paint will make them warp. Don't worry! Once the paint is dry to the touch just gather your chalkboard tags and place them under something heavy for a few of hours to straighten them out again.They're the perfect size to hang on a doorknob as a reminder for a child to clean their room. Or a fun way to congratulate newly weds. How about as little something extra for a birthday. Or a little Thank You to someone special for her thoughtfulness. There are so many possibilities!

    Hello, I love your wooden chalkboard tags.. You have definitely inspired me. I haven't noticed the wooden tags at our local Dollar Store but I'll sure be looking for them now! I hope it's okay, I've featured your cute tags in a chalkboard paint round-up along with some other clever chalkboard paint projects.
