How to print your own fabric labels

[@ginnyjorgensen9748]

I understand that brand new fabrics have something added to them in the factory (like sizing) so they look nice on the bolt, but it washes out in the first wash, so you must prewash your fabric before you begin this process and the ink will be much more likely to be permanent. Also, iron the fabric after it comes out of the printer in order to set the ink into the fabric. Use a press cloth or a sheet of regular printer paper to keep any ink from getting on your iron, or smearing across your label sheet. then flip your label cloth over and iron it on the back as well.

[@lalashields468]

Wow, thank you. That's very informative

[@alaraarmin4376]

Thank you 😊

[@MrsSadiq-nh7pc]

. many thanks 🙏

[@leeanagrill158]

For those wondering or having issues with the color bleeding or fading, try soaking your labels in white vinegar! After they’ve printed and dried, place them on a cookie sheet (one sheet at a time), let them sit and soak in the white vinegar for about 5 minutes, allow them to dry completely before using and done!

[@krissifaith6709]

this keeps them from fading?? Really? wow. thanks!~~

[@31Lcons]

I was just going to ask if you could iron the wax side of the paper over the print and if that would help but this vinegar idea is awesome. I will try.

This was very helpful an it's a beautiful idea thank you very much..may you continue to be blessed

[@manyt87]

I have to say this is an excellent idea.I spent money on transfer paper,and it didnt work.After i seen your material i didnt have that freezer paper in house so i used thermal paper the one im using to print shipping labels (A6 i made small squares) and it works.Thank you for sharing your material,really useful.

[@jesysgrl]

OMG I have been trying to figure out how to do this for ages. THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU!!!Your explanation made it perfectly clear. Every Tutorial I've ever seen never explained how to do it with wax paper. I was always left confused about where to buy the type of paper they were using. I feel like I just hit the jackpot. Lol Thank you again! You are a great teacher! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

[@towannadiggs8774]

Hi I know how you're feeling. I was sending messages to everyone I watched on YT and no one ever reponded. I havent tried this yet, but once I am done gathering my materials, I am going to use this to personalize my work.

[@kasondesimwanza7497]

I have been looking for a cost effective way of printing labels... I will try it.. 😊

Love how you always go step by step and don't miss anything out. Fabulous! xxx

[@brianksigley1467]

I just tried this and I am very pleased. I have two gifts to give soon from "Uncle" and my normal "made-by" labels are not personal enough. Thank you for this tip!

[@cynforrest]

The ink/printing is more permanent if printed on PFD fabric or you can pre-treat your own natural cotton or silk fabric with "BubbleJet" following instructions on label. (PFD: Prepared For Dying -- HTHs).

[@daughterdiaries]

This has been so helpful. This video has saved me some money as I was ready to purchase transfer paper and ribbon. I already have all of the materials. Thank you.

[@denisestephens7830]

Thank you so much for this video. I just made 4 sheets of it this evening. Luckily, I had the wax paper, white high quality cotton fabric and the computer software. They turned out terrific. Now for the vinegar tip.

[@ashleyh5949]

Did the vinegar tip work?

[@neishatan]

Mind blown!!! Running out now to get freezer paper and get started! You’re a penny saver, thank you!

[@pinkdiamonds01]

Thanks! I used pay for my labels to be made. Now I can make them at home! And I used wax paper instead it still came out perfect. Thanks so much for sharing!

[@lynnc2845]

What a great idea. I could see this method working for fabric dolls' faces too. Could either leave them as-is, or use the printed design as a template to embroider over. Thanks, you've got my mind working now!

[@stitchesstories2587]

Textile medium will make the ink in your labels more durable. After you printed add a layer of medium, let it dry and iron it. You can add more layer of medium.

I use these, and use a weak dye to colour the label to match the item! My black ink is washproof but the colour washes straight out even after heat setting.

Great idea but the freezer paper did not adhere to fabric. I just stapled it at the edges. I am pretty impressed with the results. Thank you so much.

It needs to be the type of freezer paper with a plastic backing that sticks

[@desrieebeckford4717]

[@missykim510]

Wow, this is amazing! Thanks so much :D Would you happen to know how well these labels hold up in the wash? As in, do they fade quickly or not? AND, do I have to use an ink jet printer, or do laser work with this technique as well?? So many questions, sorry!!

[@HappyBerryCrochet]

Laser printer should work too, although haven't tested it myself, as for holding up in the wash, I've washed them a few times and they have been ok, they will fade over time just like normal labels do, but best to experiment first before sewing on to your project as all wash cycles and inks vary!

[@missykim510]

Good to know. Thanks so much!

[@Knittyneeds]

@@HappyBerryCrochet You are so HUMBLE. Your voice is so soft and a pleasure to listen to. Thanks for this great information. So precious and very helpful. I have two laser printers.

[@cmmartinez330]

Great idea!! What are some of your tips for coming up with a logo! Thank you in advance!

[@HappyBerryCrochet]

Well as a graphic/web designer by trade I recommend designing a logo that works for everything you need such as business cards, websites etc etc, what works on one platform may not sit well on another, keep it clean and simple, avoid overly fancy text so it scales down well and try and choose something that you can grow with/is timeless. Hope that helps a little!

[@linetmavesere4190]

l love it. how do l prevent the edges from fraying.

[@HappyBerryCrochet]

Fold over the edges and sew, best way all in all.

[@Mel79439]

Do they have a heat bond that you can put on the back so you don't have to sew it?

[@HappyBerryCrochet]

You could try using iron on interfacing instead of cotton fabric, but haven't tried this.

[@moimimar]

are they washable? ? does it fade with washing? ?

[@HappyBerryCrochet]

You can wash them, but they will fade over time as per normal labels really, depends on your ink

[@christybaker14]

HappyBerry Crochet if you have a simple logo I wonder how a fine tip sharpie would do over it ;-)

[@Me-mw5zx]

Thank you so very much for this great tutorial! :)

[@MsJuliezoom]

Hey Laura. Fab tutorial. Thank you! I have silicone coated paper. Would that work??

[@Poenut]

Julie Zoom silicone tends to be heat resistant so I don't think it would stick to the fabric. Wax paper really has to be used because the irons heat makes the wax from the paper stick to the fabric

[@MsJuliezoom]

***** Hi thanks for the reply. Oh I didn't think of that. I'm sure I can find wax paper here in the UK

[@Poenut]

Julie Zoom Try Amazon.com (UK) if it's not in your grocery stores ...Amazon has everything, haha 😊✌🌼💜

[@MsJuliezoom]

Poenut I found loads on Amazon! Thanks so much!! 😊💜🌸

[@mydv9305txdied]

Hi, does this process leave behind plastic residue? Or is the plastic freezer paper just something that sticks to the fabric so you can run it through the printer? Thanks

[@HappyBerryCrochet]

It just sticks to the fabric so should not leave any residue.

Can a regular printer be used or does it have to be a inkjet

[@knittingknut]

Is the ink good enough to hold up with machine washing?

[@kqualls76]

thanks, love this!! how did you design your logo? can you explain how a person would do that?

[@HappyBerryCrochet]

I used Fireworks, which is similar to Photoshop, but you can probably use any design software you have, as long as you use/save as vector graphics. This means your logo can be scaled up or down without losing quality. I hope that helps a bit.

[@catherineweber7857]

Enjoyed your video. I have an inkjet printer. I followed your steps to print and unfortunately my printed project bleeds when I spray water on it. Not sure what I'm doing wrong. Thanks.

[@HappyBerryCrochet]

Sorry, not sure why you're spraying water on it? Let the ink dry before washing although I do not recommend washing these labels as they will fade over time. As someone else suggested you could try using vinegar to set your labels.
