Chalkboard labels.
I made chalkboard labels.
The perfect addition to wicker baskets.
Personalized for each child to call their own.
Inspired by Pottery Barn kids chalkboard labels:
You can purchase them at potterybarnkids.com – $8 for two labels except right now they are backordered until Oct 3.
Who wants to wait that long?
Here’s how I made the labels:
1. Cut 1/4″ plywood pieces:
4 @ 6.5″ x 2.5″
2. Paint using chalkboard paint, two coats.
3. Personalize.
Print name to size, center paper on label, trace with ball point pen.
4. Paint inside the indent left by the pen using white eggshell finish.
5. Frame.
Use L shaped molding.
6. Using a miter box cut your pieces to length:
7. Check for a good fit and lightly sand cuts before gluing.
8. Glue frame on using wood glue, press flat edge to front of label:
9. Labels complete.
10. Drill 2 holes to accommodate twine.
(Drill through front to avoid damaging letters.)
(Drill through front to avoid damaging letters.)
11. Push twine through one hole, tie knot.
12. Using a yarn needle thread twine through basket:
13. Then thread back through other side and through hole in label:
14. Pull twine snug and tie knot.
These baskets are part of a larger project to be completed next weekend.
Check back to see it all put together.
