Hey friends! Sometimes the simplest DIY projects are my favorites and this is the perfect example. This project doesn’t take much time, or money, and the result is something I’ll use over and over again for impromptu parties.
When we throw last minute parties we typically go for wine and cheese with one signature cocktail. In the past we’ve printed our own cheese labels, but I loved the idea of making a reusable set, with all our favorite cheeses! 
Supplies needed: Scupley clay, Martha Stewart Liquid Gilding
(in Gold), a rubber stamp set in a small font, a paint brush and an oven.
Step 1: Use a knife to cut your Sculpey into slices. Stamp each slice with a name of a cheese. Be sure to include all your favorites, which is completely unique to you. For example, we always buy honey goat cheese, so I went ahead and made a special label just for that (it’s stinky, but SO good!).
Step 2: Bake your Sculpey pieces in the oven at 275 degrees for 15 minutes.
Step 3: Paint the pieces for Liquid Gilding. They will not be dishwasher safe, so always remember to hand wash them as needed. 
It’s crazy how easy it is to make these little guys! I’m thinking they would be a fun gift (along with some cheese and wine, of course!) for the next housewarming party we attend.

I made these the other day exactly as instructed and found that the liquid gilding is not drying….they have been under a fan for 24 hours and the paint is still completely tacky…did you have this same issue? Maybe it needs a reallllly long time to dry? thanks!
you’re right So many Paris, but in 1873 (thanks wikipedia) it was Port du Salut, like the name of abbey where the monks produced the cheese… Anyway, these cheese labels are very cute!
Absolutely love this idea!!

LOVE LOVE LOVE!
I love this project. I am going to do it this week. However, my thoughts are to make ones thats say vegan, vegetarian, dairy-free, gluten-free, kosher. Those are just the needs of people I know. :o)
I so have to give this a try! My partner is a big cheese eater, and I’ve become pretty hooked myself. Something cute like this will be a fun addition for dinner parties! 🙂
I don’t eat cheese all that much, but I love the idea of the labels! They’re adorable!

I really like this idea and I can think of a million uses for the Martha Stewart Liquid Gold.
What a great idea! I’ve not heard of most of the stuff you’ve used. I wonder if they can be bought in the UK and if they would be expensive 😀
what? this is insanely good, you guys! These would make super cute escorts too!
Great idea. Thanks for the inspiration. Where did you get the stamps?
The literal translation of “port du salut” would be “harbour of salvation” or something like that, so definitely a good cheese name 😉
love these! I’m working on ideas for a cheese themed birthday party this fall (I’m turning 25 and haven’t had a proper party in a LONG time), these would be PERFECT!
Lovely ladies– Martha Stewart not “Martha Steward” under needed supplies in your text. 🙂
Super cute idea.
