Make these easy DIY pantry labels with vinyl or cardstock and the print then cut feature with your Cricut Machine. I got all the supplies for this project at my local JOANN store.

My pantry really needed some organizing. Everyone loves a good before and after right? Well, here is my chaotic before:

I had tried to organize it at one time with some bins I picked up a yard sale. But not only were the wrong color, I never go around to labeling them, so they never stayed organized.

And now for the after:

Ta-da!! Everything is labeled and organized and it was so easy! I used two different kinds of materials for my labels- vinyl and cardstock. I printed out my labels on cardstock and then used the Cricut print then cut feature to cut them out perfectly.

I found the all the bins and jars at my JOANN store. At first I couldn’t decide if I wanted the cream or gray, but then I liked them both together. I also have a little baking cupboard in my kitchen and that’s where I used the jars to store my flour, sugar, etc.

Instructions for Vinyl Labels:

Create your vinyl pantry labels in Design Space and size them to your jars. I used the font Dallon that I purchased to create mine.

Click on “Make it”.  Use your fine tip blade to cut out your vinyl. 

Carefully remove the excess vinyl from your words using your Cricut weeding tools. Don’t forget the tiny pieces inside letters.

Cut a piece of transfer tape to fit your vinyl. Remove the paper backing from the transfer tape and place it on your vinyl. Use your scraper tool to press the tape on the vinyl.

Flip over your vinyl design and remove the paper backing, leaving the transfer tape and vinyl. Place the vinyl on your item and use your scraper tool to apply it. Carefully remove the transfer tape and your label is finished!

Instructions for Print then Cut:

To use the Cricut Print then Cut feature, you will need to make your labels and then use the Flatten tool. This tool allows you to turn any image into a printable image and also flattens it into a single layer. If you would like the same labels I used for my project, you can open them HERE.

Once you have flattened your image, select “Make it”. Follow the Design Space prompts to print your labels first.

**Make sure you toggle off the button for bleed! Otherwise you will get words with bleed which you do not want because you are not cutting out around each word. 

After you print your labels, attach them to your LightGrip mat. Load it into the machine. The Cricut will read the registration marks and cut out your labels perfectly! 

Remove them from the mat and attach them to your bins. I chose to use glue dots. I also think a metal binder clip would look really cute. 

Now you have labeled jars and bins and hopefully an organized pantry. If you have any questions about using vinyl or Print then Cut, let me know in the comments below!
