To make your own chalkboard labels you’ll need contact paper and chalkboard paint. I used Martha Stewart’s blue chalkboard paint left over from my blue chalkboard.
Disregard the cricut cartridge in the picture, I ended up using the Cupcake Wrappers/Toppers cartridge. My labels were 4 inches big.
Once I cut the labels out I used a glue stick to hold them in place on a sheet of paper. Then gave them a couple coats of paint. Letting each coat dry in between coats.
Then you take the contact paper off the backing and apply it wherever you’d like. I’m seriously obsessed with making these. They’re going to be plastered everywhere in our house.
I’m using them to organize my boring craft storage containers. Don’t they look cute?
Thanks for stopping by. I’ll be back tomorrow with a winter wreath project and next week is my big bathroom reveal ::squeal:: Have a great weekend!
Wow.. what a fabulous idea! I have those same storage units (only wider). I am definitely pinning this and might be doing this in the future! Thanks so much for the idea. :) Love your blog by the way!!
I'm going to have to check out he Martha Stewart chalkboard paint. I pinned this project so I will remember to try it out!

Awesome, thank you so much! I have some big canisters in the kitchen that I want to label and I could not find big ones in the stores (to paint). Sweet, my afternoon project is planned!

These are great and I can't wait to try it. I really need to do some reorganizing soon.

I so need to do this with all of my sewing stuff. I love the blue chalkboard paint! It's so much prettier than the black or green. Visiting from the Brassy Apple!
