“BBQ Is an ART…Be an Artist Or Be Gone!” A sign in Gates BBQ.
We live in KC so we BBQ most weeks. We try to make it a Sunday afternoon thing and when I say we BBQ, I mean we make enough for a week. It makes the hot summer months cooking so much easier. Maybe its just because I have a boy that my fridge quivers at the sight of and he has friends. I have a friends that leftovers never happen in there homes, but we just live by them.
So these are not my recipes:
Labels:
The glass jars hold double the recipe listed above.
Labels are cut with glossy black vinyl on Silhouette Cameo 2. Labels can be found here:
1. Cut each label out. I cut on my silhouette without a mat whenever possible. I set the image up for a 12×12 sheet if you still need a mat. It will take about half a sheet.
2. Weeding: Yes, I use a straight blade to weed, just my preference, not exactly OSHA approved.
3. Transfer: For small items I do not use transfer tape. I know I am such a rebel but painters tape is just as good and for me more manageable. I line the bottom of the letters up with the bottom of the blue tape. Then I know if I am straight.
4. Then burnish it onto the tape.
5. Then we remove it from the backing to the transfer tape.
6. The we align it, and burnish yet again. This time onto the project.
I also did a top for these, because with boys, you can never have too many labels. Right moms!?!
Same process just with a few more layers of blue tape.
There you have it a simple label tutorial. I am afraid that this may not exactly be dishwasher safe now, FYI.
Enjoy!
