DIY Custom Labels

For a while,   I've been putting off getting custom labels made for my sewing projects.  I know I desperately needed to brand my items but I didn't have any artwork ready and continued to put it off.  The other day, I decided to get my artwork together for my labels and hunted on Etsy for a vendor.  I really don't have patience to put my projects on hold while I waited weeks for my labels.  Then I decided to see how hard was it to make my own.  It wasn't.  Considering that I already had everything except the twill tape, which I got here.
 

Twill tape, Fray Check, transfer paper and parchment paper (not shown) are needed for the labels.

Really, if you can put together some artwork, print it out backwards on the transfer paper and iron, you're all set.  You might have to add some finishing touches like sealing the ends with Fray Check.  Other than that, it's pretty simple. 

Don't forget to print out your artwork backwards.

 Here is the tutorial I followed to my make own.  And no having to wait weeks for them to be ready.  Unless you're putting them off.    

Day 2 of the 30 Day Pinterest Craft Challenge Contest

Day 2 of the 30 Day Pinterest Craft Challenge is now complete.  I'm going to make you wait until tonight to post the project because I have to go massage some folks :)  In the meantime, do you have any guesses?  Take a look at the my board and see if you can guess what I made.  If you're right, I'll send you a magnet a set of your choice :)   Leave your guess in the comment section.  One guess per person please.  You can earn another guess by leaving your guess on my facebook page.  Don't forget to mention the contest if you're leaving a comment separate from the fb post :)

In the event that more than one person guesses the right answer, a random drawing will be held to pick the winner.  Good luck!

Contest ends at midnight tonight :)
