The first review I'm going to do will be some super cute oranizing kitchen labels. But first, some background.
I found pinterest maybe a week before I moved into a new, beautiful home. We have been debt free, including our house, for around 4 years now. So having a new house payment has been a complete shock on my system! I want to make my home a beautiful, warm, inviting place for friends and family. But when the cash flow is a no flow, you gotta make do with whatchya got. My hope is that Pinterest Made Her Do It will be a blog filled with doable, affordable, fun filled crafts and home decor for anyone on a budget.
When I first saw these kitchen labels, I knew it was something I wanted in my new kitchen. My old kitchen had little counter space that was filled up very quickly by a microwave, my mixer, and a paper towel holder. (not to mention plenty of junk!) With plenty of new counter space, I was thrilled.
I already had some canisters that looked a lot like this, except in the ugliest green imaginable. I decided to splurge, used my decorating budget (aka my allowance) and quickly found two gallon canisters for $16.99 from amazon. I had a harder time finding half gallon size, and ended up buying some locally at walmart for $6 each. I knew I could buy exactly matching 3 quart ones, but really didn't have the counter space or cash for the larger sizes.The labels are $2.50 each, or a set of 20 at a discount. I only needed 6, so I ordered them one at a time. And by one at a time, I mean, I had to add each one to my cart...one.at.a.time. It was a bit confusing at first, but once I figured out they were just under my cart, I added them quickly and easily. You can customize the font and color, but had to do it on each individual label.
During checkout, I easily specified in the notes which ones I wanted for each size. Two large labels saying: Self Rising Flour, and Flour. Three medium labels saying: Brown Sugar, Sugar, and Coffee. (I'll order a powdered sugar one later).
Shipping was $5, making my total $17.50. The labels came very quickly, within three or four days, and were packaged in a bubble manilla envelope.
After opening the package, I was frustrated to see there were no instructions! WHAT?! I went back to the website, and duh, there they are. Right in full view at the top of every page. You can find them here.
The instructions are clear and easy to follow. Having a cake background, I was able to eyeball the center of my canisters and stick them on quickly and easily. I didn't measure, mark, or stress. I knew no one else was going to measure it, for goodness sakes. I followed the rest of the instructions, and it took me literally under 5 minutes.
These canisters look ah-ma-zing in my kitchen. Pinterest MADE me get em, y'all. And for $17.50 and 5 minutes, it wasn't half bad! My canisters were more, but if you have them yourself, this is a completely doable, quick, reasonable project! Clean up on them is easy, just wipe em down. They have withheld three months of cake batter wipe downs so far!
Thanks for reading, don't forget to Follow me and add me on Pinterest. Have a great day, and happy pinteresting y'all!
