DIY Spice Jar Labels

This is a project for the little slice of OCD in all of us. My mother had a big collection of spices, mostly from the Spice Island company but not all of the bottles matched and some were from other companies altogether. And so we set out to make all of her spices match...

We began by putting all of the spices that were not in Spice Island bottles into empty Spice Island bottles. Next we heated up some water and placed all of the bottles in (not submerged) and waited for the labels to peel off - about 5 minutes or so. We used Goo Gone to get any excess label residue off.

I made labels on my computer and printed them out on sticky backed photo-quality paper. 

I sprayed all of the labels with a Fixatif  to prevent smearing of the ink.

I used a scrapbooking oval cutter to cut them out but you could easily just use scissors.

I used an adhesive backed paper so I just had to peel off and stick!
You could also use the same spray mount as I used for my DIY French Quote Canvas to adhere the labels to the jars. 

Next we spray painted all of the jar lids with this Rust-oleum metallic spray paint.

Here are the finished products:
