Printable Kitchen Canister Labels + packing tape image transfer

January, a new beginning.  I always feel that the beginning of the year is a new gardening milestone for me.  Something about the start of a new year makes me feel like it’s time to start planning out beds evaluating new varieties of veggies to try in my garden.  I have to remind myself to hit the breaks a bit, after all, the last frost in Utah county is still months away.

In order to slow down my garden hungry spirit, I try to turn my attention to the indoors.  I figure if I can get the interior of my home organized and running smooth during these winter months, that once spring starts to hit I can grab my trowel, head out my back door, and never look back.  Except for some laundry and light vacuuming I guess, but that’s good enough for me!

We moved into our new house in March of last year.  Since the yard was a weed patch, there was no fence, and exactly six shrubs and nine perennials on the property we pretty much threw the moving boxes inside and began an outdoor overhaul.  Admittedly, the inside didn’t need to much work, at least in the finished and remodeled upstairs {which, when you’re moving into a home built in 1942 could have been a remodel nightmare}.  The baby came a month and a half later and my husband and I spent the next several months building fences and pergolas and filling in areas with pea gravel and delicious dark brown mulch.

Winter came and we began to turn our attention to the interior.  We’ve undertaken the task of basement finishing.  There’s been duct work replaced and plumbing re-routed, it’s an adventure to say the least.  Today I decided to try something a little less labor intensive, yet still satisfying.

The printable labels today are available individually for download.  I realize that not everyone has a quinoa canister so by leaving them as individuals you can print just for your needs. All the individual labels are grouped  in a file that can be downloaded by clicking here

You can open up the labels and print them individually as needed, they have a default size of 2″ x 4″.

Another option is to insert your chosen labels into a Word document and re-size them to fit your needs. For example my olive oil container isn’t a full 4″ across so I shrunk that one down quite a bit.  Once they are re-sized or adjusted you can print several on one sheet together.

I used this method to transfer the images using packing tape  here.
