Chalkboard Labels

As a mom to 3 girls with lots of stuff, I'm always looking for a way to be more organized. When we moved into this house, I thought it would be for 5 minutes and then on to our new home;however, that was not the case. We have been in this house for months with no storage. I was looking for an easy way for the girls to keep their things put away. I am in love with chalkboard labels and decided to make my own. Kristin is always willing to help:)
First, I found these in the electrical dept of Lowes. They are blank outlet covers.

A quick coat of spray paint. You can use any color. I just used high gloss because it's what I already had. Then, take a screwdriver to open the screw holes up wider. It makes it easier to insert ribbon to secure them with.
I used a chalk pen to write on the labels. You just wipe it off and start over. Kristin helped me take pictures. She pushed avianna(her baby) in the crate.I put this label on a basket.
