Wooden Number Tags

I made these number tags from the bottom of wooden drawers.  I sanded the wood, painted it black, drilled a hole, stenciled the number on, distressed it, and sealed it with a clear coat.  Vintage cording was threaded through the hole for hanging. They are great for organizing or used to embellish anything.

Take care,

I collect old numbers and letters to use in my junk projects. You really did a fantastic job painting and distressing the wood.
