DIY Chalkboard labels

I'm a HUGE fan of chalkboard anything!  
And nothing says Back-to-School like chalkboard :)  
I made these labels to add to hand sanitizer to give to the lizard & ladybug's teachers.

There are several places to buy chalkboard labels and chalkboard vinyl - I have both.
But sometimes it's nice to DIY (and save a little moola).  
Here's an idea I tried a while back and I want to share it with all of you.  

Here's what I used
Chalkboard spray paint
labels (Avery 8164 shipping labels)

Spray a few light coats over the entire sheet.
I suggest taping the labels to the surface where you're going to paint, 
so they don't move while you're spraying.

While they are drying, I removed all the stickers/goo from the hand sanitizer.
*I chose the large hand sanitizer because..well, kids are germy :)

Once the labels are dry, simply peel and stick!

They still need a little message and cute ribbon but I think they turned out great!

The beauty of making your own chalkboard labels is they are very versatile.  
Use a full sheet label and punches to create your own shapes/sizes.

Not to sound like a nut...but I usually keep a sheet of them on hand.  
You never know when you'll need a chalkboard label in a hurry!!!
