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 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.
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!
Now they'll know!
I'm looking forward to using these... every day!
