How to Make Your Own Spice Labels
Being thrifty and reusing things is a great way to save your money, and one of the best things to reuse because of their simplicity, is spice jars. When you reuse a spice jar- unless you are going to put the same thing in it- you have to make a new spice label for whatever is going in it. This is your opportunity to be creative with a new label.

Use spray adhesive because it dries quicker. Spray the back of your labels with clear spray adhesive once you have finished them. Do not immediately stick them to the bottle, but wait until it is slightly tacky so that they stick better. Once you have stuck the label onto the bottle, spray some more adhesive over the entire front so it is firmly on the bottle.
