Fit and Healthy Princess: Kitchen and Pantry Country Style Labels

Hi there everyone,

I decided to finally tackle and share my first project on my blog. As explained in the introduction, I love decorating and organizing my house. In fact, I am constantly moving and reorganising my things. My favourite room being the Kitchen. In order to have a better pantry sorting system, I purchased a few baskets that I was planning on using to sort my various cooking tools and food items. I filled up 3 baskets and decided I wanted to label them. Therefore, my first project is how to make country style labels to identify the categories in each basket. Here are the steps:

Step 1: First, look online for inspiration. Find a label pattern you like, print it and cut it.

Step 2: Gather the required material. Here is what I used:

- cardstock paper ( 1 plaid blue, 1 brown, 1 beige);

- scissors;

- glue on glue tape;

- transparent packing tape;

- 1 black pen;

- Small scraps of linen Material ( used burgundy plaid material);

- Ribbon (I chose a beige shade);

- single whole punch;

- scrapbook embellishment ( I chose a country style kitchen embellishment @ Michaels);

- paper trimmer.

Step 3: Now, trace the label shape you chose onto the brown cardstock and cut how ever many labels you want to make. Follow the same instructions with the bleu plaid cardstock.

Step 4:Glue the blue labels onto the brown ones.

Step 5:Now cut the linen material you would like to glue onto your label and glue it on top.

Step 6: Cut the beige cardstock the size you would like to be able to write the label information on for each label you are making. Using my paper trimmer, I cut the label into the size I desired.

Step 7: Write down in the font of your choice, the information you would like. I chose to make a label called:Baking supplies, Canned Goods andSugar and Spice. Once done, glue the beige paper onto the labels.
