Measure 3 inches and draw a line across two of the shims. Use a saw, cut the pieces of wood down to 3 inches. You don’t even need to cut them if you’d don’t feel like it.
Use a few drops of wood glue to glue the the shims together. Let them dry for a hour.
Now time to paint! Paint the stakes whatever color you'd like. To make the color chalkboard paint is 1 part Non-Sanded Grout and 8 parts paint. Use a teaspoon of grout and ½ cup of paint and mix until there are no sand clumps left.
Use chalk markers (black) to write the names on each. Super cute, super fun!
