When my hubby surprised me with the craft table of my dreams for Christmas, I had a vision right away of how I wanted to label it's six awesome drawers.
Two words.
Chalkboard labels.
I looked online and on Etsy in particular, and found quite a few for a decent price, but of course my craft-obsessed mind kept saying..."You can make these, Mandy."
So, I headed to Hobby Lobby and picked up a roll of repositionable chalkboard vinyl for about $5 after using my 40% off coupon. {I never buy anything full price at the HL.} And I made a template from clip art I found on PicMonkey...
Traced it onto my vinyl six times...
Cut them out...
And voila!
I'm so happy with how they turned out!
And now I don't have to search through each drawer before I find what I'm looking for...
And of course if I change the contents all I have to do is wipe the label clean and start over!
This, of course, is my favorite drawer...
It won't be long before I'll need two washi tape drawers! #iamabitobsessed
So for $5, I created these awesome labels, and I still have a bunch of the vinyl left over for other projects.
I have a feeling lots of other things in the house will be getting labeled soon!

Love the look of these! I can see so many uses for it. My teacher heart is happy that chalkboards are so in style right now since we don't use them in the classroom anymore!
You've inspired me! I have a few large canisters I need to make some of these to go on.
wow, I had no idea you can buy a roll of this. I'm definitely adding it to my shopping list.
I always hesitate to buy what I can make myself too...Thanks for sharing!
