Instead of using Avery labels that will stick to my canning jars that I'll use in the pantry, I wanted to make labels that I can laminate and tape to them. I would have NEVER figured this out and am so glad I learned just a little more about Microsoft Word! Excellent video.

Just thought Id let you know I've spent a good portion of yesterday and today disgning labels due to the start I got from your video. I like things to have labels. I spent a long time making labels for my computer keyboard (stickers to over the keys); I used labels to identify the shortcut keys I use for various programs; I'm just getting started (I use A LOT of different programs -- each with its own shortcut keys). I divided each label into sections to correspond to a particular program. Well, your enthusiasm for making labels has got me fired up to make my own customs labels.

[@AbbyOrganizes]

That is so awesome! I'm so glad the tutorial was helpful! Happy labeling! :)

[@jennystrahley927]

Thanks for such an easy to understand demonstration! I found your video while searching for information on adding labels to quilts. I have made a few quilt labels in Word and thought I knew a lot about Word but now I REALLY know a lot about it lol. Your information is very helpful!

[@karenstaskavage9869]

I love this! I'm trying to create name tags for a professional event, and if I can figure out how to mail merge with this concept, it'll be grand! Thanks for making this so clear!

[@TheCraftyOrganizer]

Great job!!!!! Love these! I label everything for my clients, and this tutorial will be great to show them how easy it is to customize to their aesthetic.

[@heatheraube5540]

This is Awesome!!! Thank you so much for sharing how to make these beautiful labels and including one without color. We only have a black and white printer at home so this was super helpful to see that black and white labels can be beautiful too. So easy and I don't have to go out and buy anything!

[@MUSICLOVERGIGGLES]

Thank you so much. I love how you explained everything easily.

Hi Abby, thanks for doing a video on this topic. I would also like to request to see videos on creating planners using Word, and Excel (i have seen the printable one you have t.y) Also making a planner from scratch and what to look for when buying a punch holder to create these beautiful planners. Thank you!😊

Most helpful video on word. Thank you. But how do I get rid of my text box line?

[@judichristopher4604]

"Thumbs UP!" Great video/tutorial Thank you so much for sharing this.

[@KarenGravatt]

Thanks for the tutorial. I'm pulling my hair out getting used to the Mac Pro. If I'm adding an image and want to insert a monogram would I have to go through all the same steps as the chalkboard background? Update ...I think I figured it out thanks to you. It seems like more steps then in the old windows pc version. Thanks again

[@triciadarby4453]

What do you print the labels on and attach to different items? Hard items and soft items like baskets.

[@sandylee6067]

I know this post is over a year old but hope you can help. Love how your tutorial is in such detail. I have been trying to make primitive labels. The kind you see on old bottles. Love that vintage look. Do you have a tutorial for that, that is in microsoft word or publisher. I have lots of images, just can't get that aged look. They are usually made with a brown paper label & are darker around the edge.Some have a nice vintage frame.

[@Acires1234]

Thank you!!!!

[@pamduell1090]

Hello, Thank you so much for your help.i really appreciate it you're a lifesaver.

[@oliviahussain7023]

Can you print them using clear adhesive? I want clear labels will it still work?

[@georgeconsolerepair9634]

Great label video's but how would I print them out on adhesive paper, for example a 2-1/2 x 6 label. Thanks

[@IamDrNana]

[@storm3772]

[@ceciliaforester6335]

Thanks so much for the instruction! So very helpful!!!!!!!! I'm a newbie at making handmade cards and can use this technique for making sentiment labels on the front of a card (happy bday, etc). Anyway, was wondering if you could do a tutorial on using an arched banner (in Shapes)? I don't know how to arch the text to fit inside that shape. Also, in general, am having difficulty with the text fitting correctly (in a round label) even though I shrink the font. I've played around with adjusting the size of both the text box and font size - - but I end up with a font that's too small or the text box in cutting into any decorative dashes/lines that I've put on the second shape. Also, the sizes I'm using for these sentiment labels are small (i.e. the inside circle that holds the text box is approx. 1" up to 1 1/4" - with overall size of outside circle 1 1/4" to 1 1/2". I use a PC (Microsoft Word). Thanks if you can give any advice - and again, thanks for doing this tutorial -it's sooooo appreciated!

[@connieqbaxter63]

Abby, question. Once you have created the labels, what is the next step you do in order to make them with a sticker type background? Are you actually printing them on Avery labels or using some type of machine? Thanks for any advice.

[@MakerandDreamer]

Very helpful. Thank you

[@AbbyOrganizes]

So glad it was helpful, Linda! Have a great weekend!

[@faithwoman8]

Thanks for your help. My question does not relate to labels, however I would like to know how to insert a water icon on my word document. Please help.

[@rachem7934]

Awesome help! Thank you so much for making this video, I was doing everything the hard way :-)

[@GaryMcIntosh100]

Hello how could make the letters were arched. I would like to do my labels as a happy face' Thank you :)

[@decarr8969]

awesome

[@bergoussi]

Thank you so much very helpful, I have watched a few videos and nobody shows how to save and print these labels!!! Do you have or know any videos please? Thanks

[@Melanie-zx6uo]

I'm sure you know by now,, but I can't stand to see unanswered questions. You should be able to print the labels just like you print a document. I believe you choose File and select Print in the menu that drops down.

[@Melanie-zx6uo]

Also, the same goes for saving the file. Click on File first, then select save or save as and you'll be asked to name the file.

[@ttee6990]

[@christinadole2731]

Hi there, thanks for the video. How do you print these once done? Will they be printable at like Staples or do you need a special label maker for printing?

[@kaylaschwartz7899]

If you have to print a specific size label anyway, why not just start with the label format instead of all this layering & moving the design. The label format lays your page out with sections for each label. I find this video confusing

[@MM-dc1lj]

How do you attach them to your containers?

[@mrslinda53]

What type of word. Office 365, office and home or student or professional?

[@kjdeGroot3]

Hello, I love this tutorial. So helpful. I was wondering if you could explain to me how to make duplicates of your label in Microsoft? I have a single label made, but need a whole page of the same label for my lip balm. Could you help?

HI, I'm using a macbook air. Which Microsoft app are you using on your Mac?

[@MissKiKi625]

Thanks I figured out how to do it using Pages

[@nancykilpatrick1884]

Made the label and don't see how to print it. I have sheets of labels, I just don't see how to print this. When I go into print and go into label there is no way this label in WORD shows up in the box for printing the label.

[@sarab9337]

What if I want to print on sheets of round labels? How does that work?

[@angelinetuscher54]

What if the software is no longer available?
