Make Your Own Sew On Labels

I tried my hand at making my own labels for my items. I started this because I had my leg warmers going to a store and I wanted people to know where they came from. Here's a look at them and how you can make your own.


The fabric does fray, I'm not sure what to do about that. I think there is non fray stuff somewhere out there.

Anyways, to make the labels, you'll need:
*Inkjet printer
*Crafter's Images Photo Fabric (you can use the sheets or roll) These can be purchased at any craft store.

*Sissors
*Anti fray stuff, I googled it, but this looks promising =)

*Needle and Thread

Step 1: Rotate your logo so it is sideways. You will need to open Work Word Processor or something similar.
Step 2: You will insert your logo as picture onto your program. Fill your sheet. You may need to re-size your logo to the size you would like. (make sure you save for future use)


 Step 3: Insert your craft photo sheet in your printer. The back of the package will tell you which way to insert sheet depending on your printer. 
Step 4: Print
Step 5: Cut out your labels. Make sure to leave enough room around your label to sew it on your project.

Step 6: Add the Anti Fray liquid as instructed on label. I haven't used it yet, but will definitely be buying some!
Step 7: Sew on label to your project and you're done!

It is very simple. I get 24 labels per sheet and 6 sheets. So, for $12.99 (before coupons) I get 144 labels!

I hope this helps you all out =) Have any questions? Leave me a comment and I will get back to you as soon as I can! Thanks for stopping by!

  1. a suggestion, alot of printshop programs have templates for address lables in many different sizes so all you have to do is pick the size you want and it will automatically place your image. saves you from having to resize, rotate and the copy/paste over and over to fill your sheet.
