Ideas for Gifting

Print both sides of the labels. Cut each label and stick both sides together. I laminated mine to give it a lovely protective finish. Punch a small hole in the top left corner. Add servings of the granola to preserving jars, tie a ribbon of your choice around the lid and thread the Granola Label onto the ribbon.
