It is back-to-school time where I live and even though I don’t have any more children at home, back to school still  means back to a schedule, a routine and back to some semblance of order for me!

And order for me means organizing my pantry.  I have been married for 35 years and I have never had a pantry.  Until now.  One day recently I came home and a wall was knocked out and there was framing for a pantry.  Yeah, I have the best hubby ever.  Was I ever excited!

I immediately knew the first thing that I wanted to do.  I’ve seen quite a few of these Pantry Labels floating around on Pinterest and I love them!  I ran to IKEA to get these glass jars and then on to my computer to create my own labels because I wanted the words to be a little larger than what I saw on Pinterest.    If you download these Pantry Labels and want them smaller, just reduce the size when you copy them.

Do you know what else is popular right now?  GOLD.  Did I really apply gold foil to my pantry labels to make them even prettier?  Why yes.  Yes I did.

AND I LOVE THEM!   It is so hard to capture the foil brilliance of these labels with a camera but these turned out gorgeous.  But with all the pretty colors that Heidi Swapp has in her foils, you wouldn’t necessarily have to do gold.  Look at all of the options you have:

Can you imagine these beautiful colors in your pantry?

For my detailed tutorial on how to use the Minc Foil Applicator, click HERE.  In order for these labels to work with the foil, they must be printed on a laser printer and not an inkjet or bubblejet printer.  So I took my labels to FedEx/Kinko’s and copied my labels onto this clear sticker paper by Silhouette which I purchased from Amazon. I then applied the foil (instructions here), cut them out and they were ready to go.  Easy Peasy!  Applying the sticker to the glass jars is super simple and in no time, I had these beautiful jars.  In Gold.

{breathing a happy sigh..}

Here are the four pages that I made that are FREE to download.  Print them off and then RUN to your local craft store to pick up a Minc Applicator so that you can foil your labels too!  I know you want to.
