I was sitting around and all of sudden it dawned on me...use pretty paper, some markers, and a big clear sticker type object to make the labels. You know it has been bothering me having all these wonderful homemade products without proper identification. I needed something that would tell me what the product was, how I made, and how to properly use it. As much as I like to think I have an amazing memory that just isn't the case so the longer I waited around the more likely it would be that I forget one of these important factors.
The supplies I used were a pretty little notepad (the kind you use for shopping lists that you hang on the fridge), laminating sheets (the self sticky ones since I don't have a laminating machine, and good ole' crayola markers. I suppose I could of been real nifty and made my own special labels on the computer, but I really like the homemade look right now. Who knows I may switch them up and have my little household brand a few months down the road. For now these cute little labels will do for me!

Now aren't they cute??? Kinda completes the homemade look ;) |
Obviously a big label wouldn't fit on the little bottle so I used those tiny blank mailing labels and put one on each side. The name on one and the recipe on the other. I know I would forget the amount of oils I liked if I didn't write it down. Now when I run out it will be simple to make another batch.

I like the colors...blue and maize...GO BLUE! |
Well that's it for the labels....for now. I am sure I will switch them up at some point. I have awesome little names for my products dancing through my head so I may have to create my own little household brand...lol I guess my husband is right...we are getting old. He is excited about his photography and I am excited about my homemade cleaning products. It's a thrilling night in our household...watch out! I will tell you though, I wouldn't change it for anything. I love my cozy Friday nights with my family :)
