SUPPLIES needed for Wooden Spatula Gift Tags

All the supplies needed can be found HERE in my Amazon Shop!

Wooden Spatulas
Chalkboard Paint
Buffalo Check Ribbon
Chalk Paste
Mini Squeegee
Adhesive Stencils
Ryobi Drill
Hand Saw

Start by using 1’4″ drill bit to drill a hole where the base of the spatula meets the handle.

QUICK TIP: I did this part over the trash can to catch all of the shavings.

Score the end of the handle where you are going to cut it by using a straight edge razor.

Next, use a small hand saw to cut the wooden spatula. where you marked it. Trust me, it’s super easy!

The edge will be rough, so be sure to use 120 grit sand paper to sand the rough edges.

How to make Wooden Spatula Gift Tags

Now it’s time to paint. Give each wooden tag about 2-3 coats of black chalkboard paint, letting it dry in between coats. To speed up the drying time, use a heat gun.

NEXT…

Choose the stencil that you want to use and place it on the tag. Place a little bit of chalk paste on the squeegee and cover the stencil with the paste. You really only need a little bit of paste for these silk screen transfers.

The best part is they are reusable! Scrape any unused paste back into the jar. Slowly remove the transfer and you have a beautiful finish, with no bleeding! Use the heat gun again to dry it quickly.

Add a pretty ribbon of your choice to the hole you made in the gift tag. You know I love buffalo check, and it really looks gorgeous with the black and white.

that’s it!

Get creative! There are all kinds of greetings you can add for birthdays, anniversaries, really anything you can think of. Aren’t these the cutest? Let me know if you make some!
