This is a cost effective way of making your own craft labels. Its quick and easy to do and gives you the freedom to make the labels exactly how you want them.
Things you will need: 1) Inkjet iron-on transfer paper 2) Iron 3) Matt ribbon of your choice (ribbon must be matt, shiny ribbons will not take the transfer as well.) 4) Scissors
Step 1: Create your craft labels document. The image printed must be a MIRROR IMAGE of what you want to transfer. I found that the easiest way of doing this was to open your word document into image processing software such as Gimp (free software available online) or photoshop. Print onto the transfer paper as directed by the packet instructions.
Step 2: Cut out the images for transfer. Try to cut as close to the lettering as possible as the white space will also be transferred.
Step 3: Iron the image onto the ribbon as per packet instructions (I actually used bias binding tape instead of ribbon).
Step 4: Stitch Cut the Label to size and press the raw edges to the wrong side and your label is ready to be used!
