Bucket Labels

In my random spurts of free time and desires for matchyness, I decided to add a little life and color to my kitchen by adding nice labels to my simple buckets.

 In a previous curtain venture, I added the curtains to give a little life, but it was time for a little more. We like to get our food in bulk, so we have many a buckets in our kitchen. So to add a little life and niceness to them I  .. . .

 simply mod podged a scrap book paper, and then a construction paper on. Then when it was dry I wrote on with chalk what item of food was in the bucket. Who says you need chalk board paint anyway?

 Then since we have weird limited room in our kitchen, a bucket became our trash can a while ago, so I also labeled it too.

 Then on top of our fridge I have these fun random tin buckets that I used to hold my recipe books, and I also wanted to change things up a little for them so I  . . ..

 Painted them and mod podged a quote on to them (and then in more ambitious moods I also moved the fridge to a new location).

 The smaller can: "Let your Faith be Bigger than your Fear."

 And the bigger can: "Yesterday is history, tomorrow is a mystery, but today is a gift, that is why it is called the Present."

 Then I also have these fun jars in courtesy of my sister April (who has also been around here on this lovely blog :), and I also wanted to add a little to them too. So I . . . .

 Again mod podged construction paper, and then when it was dry, again wrote with chalk for the food that is inside the jar. And then also labeled on my tall white sugar containers, just for fun

And last but not least. We also have a small trash container on our counter for random small trash when we are doing dishes or cooking, which is just an old ice cream bucket. Sometimes it can be a little confusing to some that it is in fact a trash can, so I thought it would be fun to label it as well.


So there you have it, my fun labeling ventures. And now you know, you don't always have to divulge into buying chalkboard paint because a mod podged construction paper works wonders! Hope you have a happy Tuesday, a Happy Valentines Day, and last but not least, a Happy Arizona's 100th Birthday (I am Arizona native, so I just have to wish it a good one!)!!

Thanks for stopping by, until next time!
