Spicing up my Creativity...

While pondering how inefficient, ugly, and frustrating it was to have all my spices stuck in an open-topped cardboard box on the floor of my pantry, a friend and I decided it was definitely worth it to use some drawer space for my spices.  I can't tell you how many times I had to literally EXTRACT the box without any of the spices falling out and then pilfer through the stacks of bottles to see if I even had what I was looking for. 

We were sashaying through Michael's one day at lunch and found these little 99 cent triangular jars with cork stoppers.  They were perfect.  I got 6 of them.  Then I perused the web, Pinterest, etc. and found some free templates just by googling.  I printed them on heavy duty resume paper and cut them out with an exacto knife.

I cleaned the jars and dried them thoroughly.  Then, I used some spray adhesive that I purchased for matting my photos and applied it directly to the back of the labels.  It helps to do this on newspaper - it can be sticky and messy- and to hold the labels up so the can sprays horizontally.  Then stick each label on its corresponding jar. 

Cute, right?

I added the spices.....

And then put them in the drawer.....

Because of their shape...they would also be super cute in a circle of 6 on a small lazy susan. 

There are tons of printable labels online.  You should try this!!
