\n I sew love Sewlovetheday’s felt Mason Jar<\/a> Labels. <\/div>\n

\nAs many of you are canning and making jams and jelly’s as I have been, how about a canning or mason jar label round up. As a graphic designer, I still have to design my labels, but designing for myself is difficult – I am not that easy to design for! I am thinking about transparent labels with white paint marker, but concerned about the adhesive – it can be difficult to remove. Personally, there are very few labels that I like, that are available on-line. Most downloadable pdfs are so poorly designed, or over-designed. Sometimes, digital technology in the hands of someone who is Photoshop proficient provides too many choices for some ‘designers’. Just because you can add a photo of red apples into a document is not a reason to use it on a label for home-made preserves, and just because you have fonts that are not default, is not a reason to use them all, and just because you can use the bevel and emboss effect definitely is not a reason why you should allow your graphic designer friend at work to help you ‘design’ some labels.<\/p>\n

Think, my friends…think about the purpose, the emotional connection with your carefully crafted jars, and try to capture this very personal tone and pass it on to your labels. Canning jars need not feel like default store brands, they already are so much more. Here are a few of my favorites this season, as I start to design mine.<\/p>\n

\n<\/div>\n
\n Mud and Twig<\/a>, also on Etsy offers a different take on felt stiched labels. <\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

\n<\/div>\n
\nThere is something clever about Bigcountrylittlebucks<\/a>; downloadable labels, which you can customize. <\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

\n<\/div>\n
\nEmbossed labels by Pear Creek Cottage<\/a> on Etsy. <\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

\n<\/div>\n
\nChalkboard labels<\/a> also available from Terrain at ShopTerrain.com.<\/a><\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

\n<\/div>\n
\nCompletely on-trend, the vinyl chalk board decals offered by Vintageblooming<\/a> come in better shapes than most of the commerical ones.<\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

\n<\/div>\n
\nThe Red Mason Jar Tags designed by Sweetly Scrapped<\/a> Art take the jar-art them to a more hand-made level.<\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

\n<\/div>\n
\n Embossed canning jars by Cardsbynikki<\/a>. Tie-on lables are good options for those who gift their preserves, or, for those who wish to reuse their jars. Many adhesives on sticker labels can be difficult to remove. If this is a concern, Ball makes a dissolvable label<\/a> that dissolves in water.<\/div>\n
\n<\/div>\n
\n<\/div>\n
\nMy favorite is still the Martha Stewart line by Avery, available on-line<\/a>, and at Staples. They come in craft paper ( my fav) chalk board paper and Martha Stewart colors.<\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

\n<\/div>\n
\nIn the end, I may end up with the simplest of labels – what my Dad usually used – masking tape and a Sharpie. Sometimes, just the date :<\/div>\n
\n<\/div>\n
\n -2012-<\/div>\n
\n<\/div>\n
\nHey, we can tell that they are whole tomatoes, so why write it?<\/div>\n
