Chalkboard Paper Shout Out

Posted: August 12th, 2011 | Filed under: DIY, Love & Haterades | Tags: | 6 Comments »

Megan at Shelterrific was diggin’ on the chalkboard contact paper from the basil vinaigrette post over here, so I figured it might be helpful to expand a little further…

 

I bought the paper here this Spring because I was sick and tired of scraping labels when I decided to change pantry items and receptacles.  To keep it uniform, I used a gift tag punch, and now I keep a little stack of labels on the ready.

Beacuse I have a memory like a sieve, I also find it helpful to write the ratios for cooking on these little guys…like so…

It’s the little things like this that make me happy to be a super-dork.

    You’re so organized! I need to take a lesson here. My closets, including my pantry, look like hell.

    But, I do have a tag punch, as well and it makes me so happy. Now I just need to acquire that awesome contact paper.

    This is such a great idea! I am going to do this also because I really don’t like trying to get old labels off either!

    I wonder if you could do the same thing with regular contact paper and a dry-erase marker? I love the concept (and look) of this, but writing with chalk gives me the heeby jeebies.
