How to Make Food Labels for Party with a Cricut
Today I want to share how I make food labels when hosting people. The food labels help people quickly and easily tell what the toppings or food options are.
It's especially helpful to have labels for guests who might have allergies or food intolerances.
Materials Needed
- Open Cricut Design Space and design your labels. You can use my template here if you want to make some that look like mine.
- Press cardstock onto a Lightgrip mat, load the machine with a Cricut fine point pen, and make sure your material setting is for cardstock. Follow the prompts in Design Space to draw and cut the labels.
- Color in the outlined text that the machine does, if you want to. I like my text bolder which is why I colored them in.
- Use tacky glue to add sticks to the back of each label. Glue a small piece of cardstock to the back to cover the stick if you want a cleaner look.
