How do You label?

[pixybratt]

I am wondering how to label the items I'm giving as Christmas gifts, do I just say oh bother and hand label them with a marker and some stickers, or is an address type label run through my inkjet OK with maybe a tad of clip art? I love the cute little round labels but I'm not sure where to get them.

any suggestions would be great

I hear that this is a great place to start:

Do make sure you label everything though: a lot of re-gifters out there!

Thank you for that link cool round labels!!

Thankfully I am only gifting to family, and they always love what I make so they wont give it away.

In a pinch you can get labels (even round) at your nearest office supply store. You can print on them and them spray them with a clear coat of spray paint.

Super that's what I need something semi- water resistant.

You can also go to your local staples and gt labels there that you can design on your own!

I use regular labels and spray them with Krylon acrylic crystal clear gloss after printing.

What are regular labels? Lables you get from walmart?

By regular labels, I meant labels that are not advertised as water resistant. I design my own labels using the Printmaster Publishing program. Many times I use the whole sheet labels and cut out the label from a whole sheet of my own design. It is a little more work, but gives me the option of making some neat shapes and designs.

I'll have to look and see if there is a Staples near me, my closest place is a smallish office depot and they are sorta light on the variety of labels

The Staples here doesn't give alot of options on round labels, so i end up using the whole sheet label and end up cutting out myself but I like the idea of making my own labels.

I saw this video on youtube about making your own labels from print shop. I was thinking of giving it a try!

PrintShop is easy to make labels with.
