**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 am going to make these for my daughters wedding for mason jars. I saw on pintrest you can emboss them. Do you know how to emboss the labels?
What brand are the flip top food storage containers that you bought? I did not find them on Target.com. Also how many ounces does each container hold? I would love to make sure full bags of food could fit.
Are the snapware containers airtight? Do the help against pantry moths?? Or do you even know? We have had problems with pantry moths, and believe me, it is not a problem I want to have again!
The moths hate Bay leaves sprinkle them around your pantry.
Woow, your pantry is beautiful! I am working on organizing mine. I got all the supplies and found that peeling the labels was really difficult. I have never used vinyl or shelf liners. Is there a trick to it?
So, I sort of LOVE Amazon too:) I’ve never heard of chalkboard contact paper, although it is brilliant. And the “chalk” is definitely the key because it can be kind of messy to use regular chalk. Sure makes for a pretty pantry. I pinned it to my kitchen organizing board!
How did you figure out how many cannisters of each type you would need? I am trying to calculate how much it will cost me to copy you :).
Where do you get the clear ones with the handle? Above the air tight ones.
How much did all the containers cost you?
I just bought all the label making supplies you suggest with my Mother’s Day Amazon gift card–can’t wait to get them and get started labeling!
Hi! Sooo coool! Where did you get the clear jars for all your food?
was wondering if i could use Chalkboard Vinyl paper instead???
Thanks for the awesome idea! I just ordered my supplies. Can’t wait to make my labels!
LOVE all your organization tips. Do you remember where you got the plastic baskets with the handle? The ones holding your peanut butter etc?
Your pantry looks amazing! One thing I would add is putting expiration dates on the labels for those things that are no longer in their original packaging. While many things get eaten quickly, I do end up with some things that expire. Maybe better visibility of items might help me eliminate that problem! Thanks for sharing.
Great pantry! I have a few those flip-top containers, but they were a bit pricey, so I also got some screw top ones (almost the same body) that contained salsa first. (Bought from Smart & Final.)
