Faux Chalkboard Labels Are a Stylish Way to Keep Drinks Separate

September 5, 2014 by Dana Hinders

Mini Mason Jar Tumblers with Chalkboard Labels 1

Whether you’re hosting a family get-together, kids’ party, or BBQ bash, there are beverages involved. How do you keep people’s drink glasses separate? Diane’s Vintage Zest page has a wonderful idea to solve this problem! Her mini mason jars with faux chalkboard labels offer a reusable option with no wasteful disposable cups, and no question of “whose drink is this?”

Click here to learn how to make your own mini mason jar tumblers with faux chalkboard drink labels.

 

Here are some other great ways to serve drinks.

Punch bowl – It’s a little 80’s but get’s the job done.

Inflatable Ice trough – If you are serving individual drinks this is great for keeping them cool

Drink Dispenser with tap – Allows you to make your own drink recipes

 Vintage Drink Dispenser – Decorative and saves the environment on the packaging.

Mason jars with straws – Great for on the go smoothies for school too.

Lighted Punch bowl – I have this exact same one and it is lot’s of fun, we use it for different occasions.

Designer Spotlight: Natalka Studio

Natalka Studio is an Etsy shop based in Ukraine with a wide variety of cross stitch designs, including realistic, detailed designs with women doing various things, holiday patterns, geometrics and more.

One of the biggest categories in the shop is called girl cross stitch, which features detailed designs of women with flowing hair doing things like drinking coffee, dancing and carrying flowers. There are seasonal projects in this category as well as a couple having to do with hobbies.

I like the knitting one, of course, and almost shared the sewing one as the featured pattern above until I realized the thread is coming off a cone on the floor and there’s no pedal for running the machine.

The one I am sharing here isn’t actually in that category but it is really cute. Little Girl with Watermelon uses 21 colors and measures 73 by 73 stitches. That’s 5.21 inches or 13.3 cm square if you work it on 14 count fabric. I love her messy hair and the little dress and matching bows. You could also change the colors if you have a little girl who isn’t as into pink (or doesn’t have brown hair).

The largest category on the page is animals, and there you will find wild animals like monkeys, pandas and sloths; ocean creatures such as rays, an octopus and a blue tang fish; frogs, dogs and geese, among others. 

There are also a lot of Christmas cross stitch patterns, which include a lot of traditional motifs and some more whimsical themes. I like this one of Santa resting by the fire with his boots off.

In addition to all these you’ll find pretty flowers, a bunch of mostly floral bookmarks, a whole big set of patterns with lemons, and a lot more. The fruits and berries section (if you like fruits other than lemons) would be perfect for decorating your kitchen or breakfast area.

Check out all the great patterns they have to offer at Natalka Studio on Etsy.
