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!
Ballard catalog this month and I'm attempting to make some of my own!
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 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.
Mine have a very rustic look.
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!
I hope you enjoyed this project and you'll take a look at my Amazon Shop for craft supplies I recommend. Also while you're here please sign up for the Homeroad emails on my sidebar so I can send my latest DIY post straight to you.
Susan,

ReplyDeleteThese are adorable! I think they would be great with a house warming gift! Maybe pair with a gourmet drink mix? Love this concept!

ReplyDeleteSusan! I managed to find a way to sidestep the Trend Micro virus warning and got in!!! : ) Fingers crossed it doesn't punish my laptop. I love these tags! You copied the font beautifully and I love the look of it. This is such a great idea especially with all the BBQ's during the Summer.
ReplyDeleteIf it wasn't so worth it I would be getting tired of the words "I have to pin this" when I visit your blog.
