PANTRY LABELS WITH CRICUT

EASY DIY PANTRY LABELS WITH CRICUT

Want to put your pantry in order? Why not use labels? If you maintain the entire organization in your pantry, vinyl and Cricut could help! Find out the reasons why your pantry needs tags. 

I know you're still trying to figure out how this relates to labeling. Go on reading. I can assure you that everything will work out.

So here are the reasons why you must have pantry labels.

Things will be quicker and simpler to see with labels. Because you won't have to waste time looking for ingredients, labeling can speed up the cooking process. You may keep things in the same spot by labeling them, so you always know where to look for them.

Your family will understand to place the cereal boxes on that shelf if you put a label on that shelf as "cereal." They will know that the bread and buns go in that container if you name it "bread and buns." You can communicate with your family in this way without ever having to speak to them. 

The best way to get the pantry labels I love is through vinyl labels. Whether you want a removable or permanent vinyl, this can give your pantry and kitchen the style you want!

Without hiring a professional, a cutting machine like Cricut can give your pantry the precise design you want. The Cricut cutting machine is the best for cutting any labels you require.

So, if you're prepared to organize your pantry... get your Cricut and vinyl ready!

WHAT DO I NEED TO MAKE DIY PANTRY LABELS WITH CRICUT?

Create simple DIY pantry labels with vinyl or cardstock, and your Cricut machine's Print then Cut feature. Everything will be labeled and arranged in your pantry after you have all the necessary materials. Vinyl and cardstock are two other types of materials that you can use for your labels. Use the Cricut's Print then Cut function to precisely cut out your tags after printing them out on cardstock.

To start your DIY Pantry Labels, you need the following supplies:

• Cricut Design Space

You need Cricut Design Space software to design your pantry labels. You can search the library to look for more unique label designs. Or you can add text such as sugar, salt, and coffee creamer to adhere to your glass jars. Just choose a cute font style and alter the size to fit your jars. You can also import SVG files if you want high-quality designs.

• Cricut Machine

Of course, after creating your pantry labels, you need to cut them out using your Cricut machine. Later, I will walk you through how to use your Cricut machine as a label maker, whether you are using Cricut maker, Cricut Explore Air 2, or Cricut Joy.

• Vinyl

One of the leading supplies you need is your vinyl. You can use ADHESIVE VINYL or HEAT TRANSFER VINYL. Just remember the rule on vinyl. If your jar is plastic, you should pick the adhesive vinyl, but if it is a glass jar, I recommend using heat transfer vinyl.

• Transfer Tape

After printing out your labels, you must pick them up from the vinyl using a transfer tape.

• Cardstock

If you want to put a label on your pantry baskets, it is better to use cardstock and hang it on your pantry basket.

• Glass Jars

You need glass jars to organize your spices and condiments. And for you not to get conscious when you are cooking, it's better if it has labels on it. 

• Weeding Tools

Weeding tools are essential to weed out or remove the excess vinyl on your labels or vinyl. 

• Scraper

To firmly press your label on your glass jars, use a scraper tool (an old atm card is an excellent alternative for this).

Oops… did I mention the Print then Cut feature for your Cricut? Here are the Instructions for this.

• It would help if you created your labels and used the Flatten tool to use the Cricut Print then Cut feature. With the help of this program, you may flatten any image into a single layer and make it printable.
• Select "Make it" after flattening your image. Print your labels first by following the Design Space instructions.

Note: Be sure to deactivate the bleed button! Otherwise, you will get words with bleed, which you do not want because you need to cut out around each word.

• After you print your labels, attach them to your LightGrip mat. Load it into the machine. The Cricut will read the registration marks and cut out your labels perfectly!

Are you now ready to have an organized pantry in your house?

You need to know how to design your labels before I explain how to make labels on your Cricut machine. The procedure is done through the Design Space app.

Follow these steps:

1. Open the Design Space app. From the Image Library, choose the shape. Then, place your desired shape on canvas and choose "cut" in the layers menu on the right.

2. Select the Text tool from the tool panel on the left to add text to your canvas. Set the text to "draw" and pick the preferred pen color to obtain the ideal appearance by adjusting the text's size, orientation, and font.

3. Fill out the label shape with text

4. If desired, use the Alignments tool to center your label and words.

5. To attach the text to the label, click the "attach" button. The software uses this feature to identify which pieces should be kept together.

Make Food Labels with Cricut

Step 1: Select "New Project" to start a fresh design on the Cricut Design Space main page.

Step 2: You'll see an option for "Images" on the left-hand navigation bar once you're on the canvas.

Step 3: Click that Images button. You can now search in the Cricut image library! Filter your search by "image sets" and search for "Pantry Label." The image you choose is entirely up to you.

Step 4: Insert as many labels as you wish onto your canvas by choosing them.

By dragging the arrow in the image's lower right corner, you may change the labels' size on Canvas. Click "Make It" when the size is just right.

Step 5: The information from Design Space will flow from the software to your Cricut machine. Follow the prompts to continue to cut.

Once the material has been cut, unpack it and trim the extra vinyl from the area around the images. Slowly and carefully weed the excess vinyl to avoid tearing your vinyl. This procedure is known as WEEDING.

Step 6: Put transfer tape in front of your design and transfer it to your jar! Use the scraper to adhere it perfectly.

That's all, then! You now know how to use a Cricut to make food labels at home! We hope you give everything a unique touch. Share your creations with us!
