LABEL WITH LOVE
For an Instagram perfect drool-worthy pantry , you should consider labels . Labelling your jars , packets and baskets will take your organised space to the next level . If you don ’ t fancy the information being on show , you can slip the label underneath the lid , or in the front of the basket , and the simplest way to do this is to cut the information from the original packaging . Alternatively , for the more creative look , use a chalk pen to write on the jars , or for the ones who are seriously committed to achieving the dream larder go all out and use a label maker , remember to include the expiry date so you know how long they ’ ve been there . Your pantry is a working cupboard and invaluable attribute to your kitchen , so it ’ s vital to treat it with love and look after it .
