For Christmas, my husband got me these Chalkboard labels in a variety of sizes (when I wrote this post, they were discounted to only $6.97!). Since I have been really working outside of my comfort zone lately to decorate my house with a gray/white and chalkboard theme – I was elated!
I knew immediately where I wanted to use them!
I had recently organized the shelf in the kids area of our living room. I had painted the shelf white, and organized their art supplies in mason drinking jars that we received as a favor from my cousin’s wedding this summer.
I had wanted to label the jars with a chalkboard type label, so these were perfect!
As I was writing the words on the labels with my white liquid chalk pen, I had a brilliant idea to add a little more snap—polka dot edges!! (If you want other color options, I use these vibrant colore chalk pens on my kitchen menu board and kitchen window. More posts on those coming later!
)
I really love how they turned out.
It has been a few months, and the stickers have held up well.
The sticker on the smaller jelly jar, periodically starts to peel off, but I have no problem at all with the larger drinking jars and their labels.
The chalk is starting to rub off on some of the stickers – but I allude that to the fact that I have young kids who use them all the time. When it gets bad enough, I will just wipe them off and draw them on again.
The pack of chalkboard labels, came with 30 smaller stickers too. I might try using them on spice jars or something in the kitchen.
I might also try improving my lettering skills, with this Chalk Lettering book. We’ll see. Let me know if you have any ideas for me!
Do you have a chalkboard theme at your house? I would love to hear about it!
And be sure to check out my chalkboard theme pinterest board, for even more inspiration. That is, if you’re so madly in love with chalkboard decorations, like me.
😉 There are some pretty neat ideas and products that people have come up with!
