How to Make Beverage Tags


There are some adorable beverage tags in the 
Ballard catalog this month and I'm attempting to make some of my own!

I can do that... a little different maybe but the same... easy!

I had shims, I backed them thin end to fat end and glued them together.

This made the shims the same thickness all the way 
down the length.

I cut the shims into 6" pieces, cut them tag shaped, and sanded the edges.

I drilled holes for the twine then sanded the holes.

I aged the wood with a vinegar/steel wool solution.

When the boards were dry I printed out a few appropriate words... sweet, lemonade, water & my favorite... over 21!

I drew the words freehand onto the wood trying to 
copy the font I printed out.

I used a Sharpie marker for this. 

I gave each tag a spray of Poly to protect it then strung
a length of jute through the holes.

These are an adorable idea because how many times do you have to tell people what's in the pitcher?!

Especially the Over 21 pitcher!
