Happy New Year Everyone! I am so excited to be back to blogging :) How are your new year's resolutions going? Is one of them to be more organized?
With the turn of the year, many people use this time to a fresh start and try to get more organized in their life. Last year I shared with you a binder I made to
organize my homemade birthday cards. This year, I am sharing with you how I organized my baking cabinet. It also happens to be part of the Silhouette Challenge and I am so excited to take part in my first challenge. (Can I just say I love my Silhouette Cameo?! I really do - it's been awesome to learn to use is the last several months and there are so many amazing projects out there. I can't wait to share more of the cute things I have made, but those are posts for another day :)
So clearly I love to bake - if you know me or have been reading long, you will find many yummy treats on here. Every good baker needs to have her supplies easily accessible. One of the things I loved about my husband's house when we first got married was the space for my baking supplies - It was a serious treat after having things stuffed in odd places in my tiny galley kitchen in my apartment.
While I love my baking cabinet, it definitely needed a bit of a face-lift and some organization. This project fit the bill and was a super simple one to tackle.
The first thing I did was measure the face of each of the different sizes of Tupperware I wanted to label.
Next I picked a font I liked (I used KC Lemonade - so fun!) (second side note - KC Lemonade came from dafont.com) and typed out my labels in the Studio program. The KC font was pretty good, but to be on the safe side, I did offset the text by .02, just to make it a tiny bit thicker and easier to cut out.
I double check my measurements, to make sure that everything would fit, then it was time to cut! I used Oracle 651 vinyl and used the default cut settings in Studio for vinyl. I also used my mat when I was cutting.
Once everything was cut out, it was time to weed it out (get rid of all the parts of vinyl you don't want, leaving just your letters)
I didn't have any transfer tape at the time, so I used a lint roller sheet instead. Place your transfer tape over your design, and use your scraper tool to get it to stick to your letters. Then slowly peel the backing away. Now place your letters on your Tupperware and use the scraper tool again to get the vinyl to adhere to your Tupperware.
Repeat as needed for each label you made.
Ta Da! All neatly labeled. Now I not forever confusing my flour and sugar at first glace.
I love how my cabinet looks now too - all pretty and organized.
Thanks for stopping by!
