Begin by printing out your labels onto regular paper. We've included printables for popular pantry staples such as flour, sugar, oatmeal, nuts, and seeds. The labels are 1.75 inches by 5 inches.

Step 3

Place the label inside the glass jar and use tape to keep it in place — this allows you to actually trace the letters through the glass. Trace the word, and then let dry. Repeat for all your glass jars and labels.
