Pet Food Labels

As you may have guessed, I'm an animal lover.

My fur-babies are (very nearly) as precious to me as my real babies.

So when I saw these storage canisters at Ballard Designs, I immediately wanted them.

Ballard Designs

They satisfied the OCD in me in that they are clean and compact.  They keep the food fresh and they are aesthetically pleasing.
I mean, I could leave these out when company came over they're so pretty!

Only problem - the price tag.

The smallest container is $52?!

I needed an alternative….

I bought an old Silhouette machine from a friend looking to get rid of hers. 
I purchased a couple of silhouette images online and created these labels with some adhesive vinyl:

 The above is for training treats, below for grooming supplies,

and these giant ones are for food and cookies.

I bought these airtight containers years ago from Miles Kimball.
I see they still have a 3 piece set for $29.99 here.

The largest container fits a giant bag of dog food.

I like them because they have a hinged lid, they have a clip-lock (so hungry little noses can't wedge it open by themselves) and they come on castors.

I think they look amazing!

But what if you don't have a silhouette?

I got your back!

I came up with these little pdf's that you can print out on your computer onto Avery 5163 shipping labels:

or by themselves:

Copy and paste the above images or use the two-per pdf sheet here:

You can print them off on regular printer paper and attach them to your containers with glue or tape!

Now we can all have gorgeous pet food storage containers!

Have a great one!
