Hand Painted Labels

I recently remodeled my pantry and have always used big jars to store my sugar and different kinds of flour. Although, I knew what was in each jar, it was a little harder for anyone to figure out and distinguish between Bread Flour and All Purpose Flour. You do not need a lot of supplies for this simple project:

1. Print out your font and size on regular computer paper
2. Scotch tape
3. Fine tip Sharpie
4. Sharpie Paint pen (any color)

I cut out each label at a time and taped it on the inside of the jar. I used Felix Titling in 80 font for my jars.

Use your fine tip Sharpie and start tracing on the outside of your jar. It does make your vision go a little wonky because the thickness of the glass and tracing over the paper played some tricks on my eyes!

Once you outline with the Sharpie - go ahead and remove the label on the inside.

(If you are wondering what "Kamut" is...it is a type of flour I buy from an Instagrammer in Utah I know, The Food Nanny. She will sell you on it if you look her up.)

Go over your Sharpie with a paint marker. Mine said it works on glass and a multitude of other finishes.

This is the brand of Sharpie Paint marker I picked up from Walmart. They come in different colors.

Took me maybe half an hour to label 4 jars. No way I could free hand this! Having the paper on the inside as a template really helped. If you are artistic - you could free hand this and even do some fun designs on these plain jars with different paint markers.

It is not as crisp as a label maker but they turned out pretty well, if you ask me!
