Step 3: Cover your surface with newspaper. It is best to do this outside, but if you can’t, choose a very well-ventilated area. Spray paint the tags thoroughly with the chalkboard paint, covering both sides. Paint more than one coat if necessary.

Step 4: Let tags dry completely

Step 5: Cut a piece of your thread or rope and thread it through the hole, tying the ends together at the top, making a loop.
