Cheap and Easy “Chalkboard” Labels

 

1. Go here to download the chalkboard font called, “Eraser”
2. Open the zip folder with the font and double-click the font file
3. When the font file opens, click “Install” This will install the font in your system
4. Open Microsoft Excel
5. Type each label you want in a column of cells
6. Select all the cells with your labels in them
7. Change the font to “Eraser”
8. Change the font to the size desired
9. You will need to adjust the cell size to fit the text
10. Change the fill color to black
11. Change the font color to white
12. Print the selection

13.  Cut out each “label” and tape to your item to be labeled. 

I use 3M Packing Tape for just about everything!  If I am labeling a jar I just tape the ‘label’ to the jar.  If I am taping it to a basket or going to attach it with a ribbon, I ‘laminate’ the label with my packing tape and then attach it.  Does that makes sense?

One tip to save on printer ink is to only make the label the size you need.  You don’t want to print up a lot of extra black!
