Canning Jar Labels from Canning Crafts

Now that I am exploring the world of canning, I thought I'd check to see what kind of fun things there were out there for my new-found love.

Thankfully, I came across Alison's Canning Crafts site on etsy.  Alison makes adorable labels for both regular and wide-mouth canning jars. She even customizes label art or creates new designs for specific canned goods.

When Alison first got started with her Canning Crafts business, she combined her gift in graphic design with her love for gardening and salsa making. She started to design her own canning labels because she ouldn't find anything unique enough to dress up her salsa that she was giving away for gifts. Her husband told her to just write on the lids with a Sharpie, but the artist in her couldn't do it! As a result, Canning Crafts was born.



I think these labels are such a great idea. Canning itself is new to me, but in the past I've given jars of homemade chocolate syrup and such away and it drove me nuts that I didn't have a quick, easy way to embellish the jar just a tad to make it gift-worthy. I've found my solution in Alison's labels. (Not that she has labels for chocolate sauce but she did send me a generic one that would work just fine!)

Here is a peak at a few of my favorite labels from her etsy shop.


























Here are some of the ones I get to use (plus the salsa recipe-thanks, Alison!)



And a few canning tips in general (can I even give tips since I'm new to it myself!!) But, from the little bit I've done this is what I've learned...If you're new to canning you might want to pick up a kit like this. It makes the process go much smoother!





Also, a good reference is the Ball Blue Book. This handy little book and I plan to get well-acquainted this summer!


Be sure to check with friends and relatives who don't can any more. They're probably more than happy to pass on their canning supplies to you. It will help get you started anyways.
