**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 love this! It is great! I can’t wait to get started on it. Thanks this is going to be very useful for me. Just a wonderful idea.
i haven’t been very pleased when i’ve used chalkboard paint, this paper might just be the solution!
WOW! Thanks for the post! I had no idea about the chalk or adhesive calk board.. Great ideas.
Just a question about the canned food storage bins. I’ve seen a lot that are OK, but I like the ones that you used better. Where did you find them at?
I have looked on both target.com and bed bath and beyond and I can’t find the can organizer you are using, its driving me crazy, PLEASE HELP!!!! thank you
she made it!
I found you via google search and boy am I glad I did! What a *TERRIFIC* idea! I LOVE how organized your pantry is! Thanks so much for sharing!!!
I love the way this looks! where did you find the containers?
I love this idea and have been wanting to do something like this with my own pantry. Are all your plastic containers the same size and raised on a platform in the back row or are the ones in back a larger, taller size? My pantry shelves are rather deep and cans and boxes are always getting lost and forgotten in the back!
I’d like to know as well. But love the idea of putting a platform (out of a plain painted 2×4 stacked and painted). This way you can just buy all one size.
I just ordered chalkboard labels and they were a tad expensive. When I saw your idea, I jumped over to Amazon and ordered all three of these. THanks for the great idea!
I love, love, love your pantry!
I am also very interested on where you got the canned good storage containers. I have been looking for them and can only find the wire ones. If you made them, could you share the pattern?
She actually built them. There is a tutorial on her site for it.
⭐⭐⭐The one I built is a nicer design than this one. I LOVE MINE!!! I built my own using the plans at www. WoodworkPlans.info – highly recommended you check those out too. They are detailed and super easy to read and understand unlike several others I found online. The amount of plans there is mind-boggling… there’s like 16,000 plans or something like that for tons of different projects. Definitely enough to keep me busy with projects for many more years to come haha

I am interested in the boxes/containers that you have your canned goods stacked in, where did you find them? They look as if they are made of wood, are they?
She built them herself. The tutorial is posted with the instructions 🙂
Where? Is there a keyword I can search by?
Excelent!!! where I cant buy this? !!!!!
Hello! I would love a punch like the one you used, did you find it on amazon? Was it called bracket? What brand? I have been looking for one like this online and I’ve had some trouble finding it..
EK success makes a punch like that
I am having serious pantry envy right now! It’s beautiful!! Great job and LOVE the chalk board label idea and the pen is genious.
