How to Create a Chalkboard Label
DIY Jar Label Instructions
-
Make sure you are starting with a clean jar.
-
Use your painting tape to tape off where you want your label to be. When you are pressing the tape onto the jar make sure to really push down on the side of the tape that is where the edge of the paint is going to be to keep it from bleeding through.
Tip: Use a cutting matt or a ruler to make sure your tape line is completely straight. -
Repeat this process with the rest of the sides of whatever shape label you are creating.
-
Read the instructions on the brand of paint you bought.
-
Grab your foam brush and dab it into your paint and begin coating your jar with the paint. Try and use back and forth wiper motions for a smoother paint job.
-
Let that dry, and your chalkboard label is complete!
Tip: Be sure to read the instructions on the paint bottle you purchased for how to prime your chalkboard before you start writing on it.
