Thanks for the tute! I wish I had seen this earlier! These tags would be great on the checkbook cover that I made my sister and the fleece & applique scarves that I made my cousins. I guess there's always next year :)

instead of using iron on transfer paper, print out laser(or copy machine) and use a xylyne(AD) marker to rub on the back. Your ribbon will still be soft, and have the detailed lettering.

Wow, this is a really neat tutorial! That's a great idea, and seems pretty simple. It's a neat idea, I'll have to remember that next time I make stuff. ^___^ Thanks

I loved this idea and tried it. Now I have a transfer papaer jam and I don't know what to do about it. Have my printer repaired? Get a new printer? This sucks big time.
