When I wanted to add a pretty touch to our pantry, I knew that I had to break out my Cricut machine and make these Cricut DIY Dried Herb Mason Jars to store all of our dried herbs and seasoning mixes.

I've shared many Cricut projects, but I just can't help myself - I love mine. If you ask my family and friends, they'll tell you I talk about it all the time - and use it all the time, too!

I really love using my Cricut cutting machine to make cute projects around my house. Of course, they make lovely gifts, too! These would be the perfect inexpensive housewarming gift. Since you can customize the color choices, they fit in any kitchen.

You could also paint your mason jars first.

How to Assemble the Dried Herb Mason Jars

Cut around each word with a pair of scissors.
Using the weeding tool, peel away the excess vinyl around the cut images and discard.
Cut a piece of transfer tape a bit larger than the size of the lettering.
Peel away the transfer tape backing and place the transfer tape overtop of the cut lettering. Gently rub the vinyl to help it stick to the transfer tape.
Peel away the vinyl backing, leaving just the lettering adhered to the transfer tape.
Position the word with the transfer tape onto the smooth side of a jar and press in place.
Press the vinyl image down with your fingers to help it stick to the glass jar.
Slowly and carefully remove the transfer tape leaving the vinyl word on the jar.
Repeat for the other mason jars and herb lettering.
To finish, fill the mason jars with dried herbs and tie a piece of twine around the jar lid.
