The Chalk Label Tags set is the third design in the Dollar Days Two series!

Thank you to everyone who preordered this series!

These handy little Chalk Label Tags will serve a multitude of purposes!  They can be used to label clothing drawers, toy or craft baskets, or even hung on wine bottles!  I've used chalk fabric in mine, but if you prefer you can substitute plain muslin for the chalk fabric and write on it with fabric markers for permanant Label Tags.

The Chalk Label Tags are made in the 4x4 hoop.  Each one is made entirely in one hooping with no other hand sewing required! They can be made with a ribbon loop or ribbon ties (for tying around a basket handle).

The Chalk Label Tags set includes both the oval Chalk Label Tag and the Rectangular Chalk Label Tag.
