Kitchen DIY: beautiful labels for your storage jars!

Whether the kitchen is large or small, it’s important to always have an overview when cooking and preparing food. Especially when it comes to kitchen supplies. You can store supplies sustainably, safely and beautifully in transparent jars with lids. The highlight: the labels of the jars are cut to the desired size from black d-c-fix board foil – and then inscribed with a white chalk pen. If you have a plotter at hand, you can also produce or plot the lettering in the “Uni Matt black” adhesive foil. Both versions are super stylish and look great on an open kitchen shelf!
