DIY: Project labels


Why do Projects look more impressive when they have a tag on them?
They just do.

Here how to make your own:



Create labels on your computer. I used a "Label Wizard" program in Word on my Mac and set it to "return address labels", which fit perfectly on 1/2 inch wide twill Ribbon.

Print a practice sheet on regular paper to make sure it will fit your ribbon, then print onto Inkjet Printable Fabric (make sure it's iron-on).  Cut labels into 1/2 inch strips then follow printable fabric directions to press strips onto your twill ribbon. 

Just cut one from the ribbon when you finish a project and sew it on.

    Thank You! Thank You! Thank You! I have been brainstorming ideas on how to put my name on the items that I make to sale. I was about ready to give up! You are a genius! Again, THANK YOU!

    Thanks for the tutorial...I make my labels on iron on fabric, but never thought to transfer it to ribbon. I think I'll make little double sided ones to put in the seams of my bags :)
