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:

Cute! Love the Cherry Limeade cart.
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!
So cute! I've been wanting to do this forever and just haven't got around to it-love it!
So cute! Love it!
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!
They turned out very cute! Wish I had some!

Followed you from I heart Nap Time. Love this idea. Isn't labeling the best?! You did a really great job!
Super CUTE!! I love this idea, makes me want to do it to mine! :)
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!
