Make your Own Clothing Labels

I've always wanted to have my personalised labels, but really didn't want to spend $50 - $100 on bulk buying.

But, I do think it makes a hand made gift look special & a little more professional. 

So I remembered that I had t-shirt transfer paper. 

I thought I'd see how it worked out. on a couple of different fabrics

Materials:

Transfer paper (on light fabrics)

Computer

Heading Tape

Binding Tape

Ribbon (what ever type of label you want)

Scissors

Iron

Pretty Storage Container

Step 1: Typed up my name and printed it on plain paper a few times to get the size correct.

You must make sure you flip the image, because when ironed on it will read right.

Please Note:  I am really not that great on the computer, so after a lot of goggling, I finally found out how to flip the image!!

I used Microsoft Word, once I had typed it up, I went to Print Setup - Advanced Options - Mirror Image (it is turned off) Turn On

I also found out, that you MUST change it for every separate print you do.

Step 2: Print onto transfer paper

Step 3: Cut them out

Step 4: Please print down on tape (fabric)

Step 5: Follow the iron on transfer steps - temperature & time 

Should look like this

All Done

Personally I really like the heading tape label. It's cheap, gives texture & looks nice once sewed on.
