Django tag like input for a ManyToMany field in a model

Currently, I have an issue where within my model I have two ManyToMany fields that basically need to act like tags. I either need my data to go from my HTML to my view so I can populate it in the view function, or just have it work with some special form type.

class MyModel(models.Model):   ...   skills = models.ManyToManyField(Skill)   interests = models.ManyToManyField(Interest)  

Where Skill and Interest are classes as follows

class Skill(models.Model):      SKILLS = (          ('0','Skill 1'),          ('1', 'Skill 2'),          )      name = models.CharField(max_length=50, choices=SKILLS)        def __str__(self):          return self.name  

Currently, my form does not pass in the skill or interest and I can get it to populate off checkboxes. But would like to make it a taggable sort of entry used in Bootstrap: http://bootstrap-tagsinput.github.io/bootstrap-tagsinput/examples/. Any advice is greatly appreciated. Thank you.
