**So happy to have you here! Make sure to follow us on Pinterest and Facebook to stay up to date on our posts!**
UPDATE! Many of you have requested the brand of air tight canisters I use. Here is a link to them on Amazon! They also qualify for free shipping… Whoop! I use all 3 sizes!
Hey hey guys!
Hope you all had a great weekend!
I really appreciate all of your shares and pins on my printable banner letters! I will be sharing even more later on this week!
Today I am sharing a quick tutorial on how I made my labels for my pantry makeover. These are so simple, and now I am fighting the urge to make labels for the entire house ;-)!
I have 2 types of chalkboard labels. The labels I am sharing today turned out like this…
These are super simple! It’s all about finding the supplies. I found everything on Amazon… I sort of LOVE Amazon.
I knew I wanted to have the look of a chalkboard, so I decided to use Chalkboard Contact Paper. Here is the paper I bought from Amazon…
I wanted them to have a cute shape so I found this paper punch on Amazon as well… (You can also find this at a craft store and use a coupon if you prefer!)
Now the key is the ‘chalk’! With 5 kiddos, chalk isn’t used much around here. As soon as I write something cute, I have little fingers that like to wipe it all off. So… I was so excited to find this wet-erase chalk pen! Not only were my words much easier to write, the kids can’t mess them up near as easily! Woohoo! To erase it, you just get a damp paper towel or cloth and it wipes right off… LOVE.
That’s all you need to label pretty much your entire life. I did all the labels you see in the picture, and didn’t use hardly any of the paper roll.
Here is the punch…
I made a whole bunch just by pushing it down… So easy!
I used my pen to label them…
Then, I just peeled the back off and stuck them on all of my containers! Easy peasy!
How cute are those?? And I love that I have all the supplies handy to make more whenever I need them!
Hope you like them as much as I do!
I would love for you to share and pin this post below!
Let me know if you have any questions at all and have a great week!

I just ordered the chalk board contact paper! Can’t wait to label away! 🙂
Woohoo! You will love it! 😉
This is a great idea! Where did you get your plastic storage containers for your pantry?
I’d like to know where the containers came from too!
Your chalkboard labels are ingenious–I am totally going to take advantage of your cleverness! And your pantry is so amazing! I would be in there all day long, gazing lovingly at the beauty and organization. *Sigh*
Can I come and eat out of your pantry? Yum!
Great post, looks great!
Love this!!!
how do you keep everything from going stale?!
The containers are all air tight, and with a family of 7 our food doesn’t sit on the shelf too long 😉 Not sure if this is what you are referring to, but hope it helps!
this is fab!! i have a little obsession with chalkboards so i love this….i have used black paper and a white pen but i love your idea with the paper that peels and sticks and a chalkboard pen (which i have from another project). ps..your pantry is beautiful too :0)
Thank you Sarah!! It is a bit of an addiction 😉
Great, what a lovely idea!
Thanks so much!! I appreciate it!
I am in awe over the organization of your pantry! This is sooooo me!
Thanks so much DeDe!! I appreciate it!
Awesome! I’m making some can storage this week b/c I love those too! (BTW, these containers are at Target or Walmart. I recently bought a whole bunch, too, and I’m thinking it was Target.)
I did find them at target… They also sell them at Bed, Bath and Beyond where you can use a coupon 😉
Where did you get those cute clear containers? They look like the perfect size and shape!
Target! But I will be sharing a post soon with info on all my storage goodies! 😉
Where did you find your containers?
Target! I will be sharing a post soon with info on all my storage containers! 😉
I am in the process of organizing my pantry. Using your pantry as inspiration. Thank you so much for sharing. I love it. I’m looking for your ur container info, I purchased a couple dozen of the Snapware airtight container and I already own the stackable bins in your pantry that I bought from The Container Store years ago but I’m wondering where you got the cerebral containers with handles? Also, where you got the bins with handles? My first ever reject, can’t wait to share finished project on Facebook.
I do apologize, I found the bins with handles at The Container Store just after posting this. Still can’t find cereal container with handle.
That is quite the pantry you have there! Nicely done!
Thank you so much!! 😉
Great idea, do you think that paper would work in the Silhouette? Also where did you get those baskets with the handles? Love it!!!
Yes it will work. I used a Cricut to cut mine but have a friend who used the Silhouette.
I will share all my basket finds in another post! Yes, the paper would work great with the silhouette! I did a tutorial on using contact paper at https://www.shanty-2-chic.com/2012/02/stencil-with-contact-paper.html
love love love … awesome idea. ps . i wish i had a pantry that looks like this one … LOL
You are sweet! Thank you!! 😉
