Label vinyl canisters

I always stock up on flour and sugar (white, brown, and powdered) when they go on sale. I was then left with chaos in my dry baking goods because there were multiple bags opened and spills even though I tried putting them in plastic bags and other solutions. We also had a bad ant problem last year which included that shelf. Some how granulated sugar drew in crowds of ants-imagine that! So I knew I had to do something. I had already wanted to try vinyl with my Cricut and was planning on labeling my counter canisters so I decided to get a better solution for the flour and granulated sugar.

I got two large glass containers from Walmart. They were on sale I believe for $7-9 each. I made sure before I cut the vinyl that I cut them out of scrap paper first and instead of transfer tape I used purple (cause I love that color) masking tape. I used my Cherry Limeaide Cricut cartridge. I was lucky because I didn't measure the pantry and they fit perfectly inside. Here's what they look like:
They each hold about 4-5 bags.

Now I am so so curious as to how that whole vinyl thing works. Do tell! I don't have a cricut but I do have a slice. How do you do it? Thanks! Maybe you could do a guest post for me with tutorial on the whole vinyl and cutting machine thing! Kristy from www.apronsandapples.blogspot.com

Cute! I hate having to explain which canister things are in (it's the third one. No. From the other end. No, third. Here, just let me get it.)

@A&A--I'm sure Brooke would LOVE to guest post. She might not be available until after she has her baby (she's due a week from Friday!). Be sure to also check out her series on using the Cricut--it might have some ideas on how you can use your Slice for vinyl!

Those are perfect! I too buy baking supplies in bulk - I will have to check out Wally world for those canisters. Perfect!

This is such a fun post! I LOVE those canisters too. I also buy in bulk and have been keeping mine in ugly plastic containers.

This is super cute. I need to label my dry goods so I don't get the bisquick confused with the flour!

Oh my goodness. What's wrong with me? Why didn't I think of this? I have clear glass canisters on my counter and NEVER thought to use my silhouette and vinyl to label them. Duh! Thank's for posting this!
