Before you read any further, head to Target and check out their Dollar Spot. They’ve got super cute tin buckets right now that are perfect for storing writing supplies {pens, pencils, markers, etc…}. There are tons of colors and sizes and some come with or without handles. Once you’ve found the tins you love, you’re all ready to make this easy 5 minute craft.
All you’ll need are:
a couple of cute tins
vinyl chalkboard labels
chalk marker
markers and pens to fill up your tins
I already had everything I needed for this project except the tins. You could totally use a cutting machine such as the Cricut Exlore to cut your own cute chalkboard labels, but I already had these ones and have been trying the “use what I’ve got” method of crafting.
All you have to do is stick the labels on where you’d like them on the tins…
Then use the chalk marker to label them. LOVE chalk markers! I use them for my weekly photos of Henry as well. They write beautifully and don’t erase or rub off without a damp paper towel.
Once they were labeled, I added my pens and markers and set them out on the desk in my office!
I simply love them, and the fact that I can just erase and re-write a new label if I need to is totally awesome in my opinion!
I love this! Such a quick and simple way to add a pretty organizational touch!
Cute for a desk!
So cute and easy!
Target really does have cute tins right now- I agree! Good, quick idea!
I could use some of these! Great idea.
Wow what i great idea, This looks ace. Do they stay on if you rub over them?

Yes! It does stay on…to get the chalk off, you just need a damp cloth!
Haha! I LOVE this! I bought the same jars (like a dozen of them.. shhh) and chalkboard labels. Super cute pen holders! I used mine for plants. 🙂
GREAT idea!! Thanks for stopping by! 🙂
This is an awesome idea. Really cool way to be more organized.
