Hello everyone!
You may remember a few years ago I did a post showing you how I labeled my spice jars.
Truth be told they weren't exactly what I wanted...
I had always planned on labeling them in white but, Erik and I realized that household printers don't print white...
Needless to say, I settled with the black labels and I didn't mind them.
A few years have passed and the labels aren't holding up well.

In all honesty, I think it was simply user error. 
So, I decided this was the perfect opportunity to go back to what I originally wanted.
White cursrive labels.
Only this time they will be handwritten.

You will need:
Spice Jars
White Oil Based Paint Marker

Remove the old labels.

Clean the outside of the spice jars and remove any leftover sticker residue.

Dry thoroughly.

Using the paint marker label the jar with the name of the coordinating spice in your desired handwriting.

I went with cursive but print would work great too!

Let the ink dry.

Put away.

Enjoy!

The jars weren't the only thing I upgraded.

I moved the spices from their tiny cupboard,

 to a three-tiered shelf in our pantry.

Overall I am much happier with the results!

Bye worn-out labels!

I love the look of these spice jars much more than my originals.

The white is easier to read and gives a brighter, cleaner look.

All my love,

Autumn

Hello everyone!

For those of you who don't know I love organizing things.

There is nothing more satisfying to me than an organized house.

Last week I was able to get one of my projects off of my to-do list. 

Organizing my spice cabinet!

Here is what I used:

Spice Jars

Spices

Clear Sticker Paper

Printer
Ink

Remove stickers and labels from new jars.

I picked up these spice jars from the Container Store, AKA heaven.

They hold 3 ounces which is more than enough space to hold a regular spice jar and it has a shaker top!

Clean the jars with warm water and soap.

Dry thoroughly.

Create your labels.

I created mine on the computer in word with a free font called love moment. 

Then I printed them out on Silhouette Printable Sticker Paper.

You do not need a Silhouette Machine for this.

It will work with a regular printer.

Make sure your printer is set to best or high quality, this will make it so the ink won't come out faint on the paper.

Give the labels plenty of time to dry so they won't smudge.

Cut labels to size and place them on the coordinating jar.
Give your cabinet a good cleaning.
 Place jars back inside.
And you are done!

Look at how much more room we have!

There were several spices that we had doubles of.

I could never find anything so I assumed we were out when we actually weren't...

Now we can find everything in a snap and we have so much more room!

This was such a satisfying project.

Having the same container for each spice creates a feeling of continuity and makes it look put together.

It really makes a difference!

What organizing projects do you have on your to-do list?

All my love,

Autumn
