I Love Getting Crafty

That's right y'all! I'm your typical southern craft-aholic, and like most women who like to make a mess with glue, ribbon, vinyl, and paper, I wish I had more time to do so. Thankfully, I found some time today, which was wonderful. This project has been on my to-do list for quite a while, so I'm very glad that it finally got done!!! Basically, I've been wanting to use vinyl letters to label jars for baking items - sugar, flour, brown sugar, etc. If you've never done a project with vinyl before, I highly recommend it! It's super simple and can create custom works of art that look very polished. Here is what I did: 

First I downloaded the font I wanted. I recommend the site 1001 Free Fonts (1001freefonts.com). I have fallen in love with this website because (1) the fonts are FREE, and (2) they are organized by style! I chose a font called, "All Things Pink," which was in a group of fonts called "handwriting". I feel as though the handwritten font styles are so popular right now, and I adore them! 

Second I cut out my vinyl using my Silhouette machine. If you don't have one of these machines, you should put one on your Christmas list! They are amazing!!

Next, I pulled away the excess vinyl from the words, including all the tiny pieces inside the letters. Finally, I used transfer paper to lift the vinyl lettering from its backing to the containers. The transfer paper maintains the words' exact spacing. Below you will find a great 3 minute tutorial video! 

So yes, I FINALLY have my jars for all my baking goods. I like to think of vinyl as the classier version of the label maker. So for all you label obsessive men and women out there, maybe you should look into vinyl to give your labeled items a more fun and presentable look. 

I am in LOVE!

Thanks, y'all for stopping by! Happy Sunday!
