DIY Printable Fabric Labels | Easy Iron-On Method

[@UtubeKarlly]

After four years of making things, I'm just now discovering your channel! I love that you keep right to the point and don't get all chatty like a lot of people do on their channels. Your instructions are precise, to the point, easy to understand and you show each step up close! I'm in the process of looking for all your videos and saving them.

[@JanHowell]

Thanks. You are so kind

Exactly how my wife and I feel! Perfect format and content. TY Jan.

Wow, I just got in touch with a company from Africa, to get a quote for labels… I’m making my own. Thank You Jesus! Thank you too Miss Jan.💕

[@JanHowell]

You are so welcome. You got this!

[@galemckiddy5120]

I have this same paper cutter, and it is worth every penny! The replacement blades are easily found on line or in the store and it is simple to remove the old blade and replace it with the new one. The wire that shows the exact cutting area is a big help. I use it to make detailed greeting cards, but did not know it would cut fabric too! Thanks!

[@busybeeisme6863]

I watched the self-binding baby blanket video and was admiring your tags. I was wondering how you made them and here you go, posting a great, informative video on how to make them! Thank you for the exceptional idea.

First of of all ma'am! This is exactly what I was looking for. 2 I love your vibe. 3 Your hair cut is sharp! Thank you for this.

Thank you. You are so kind! Glad this was helpful. Enjoy your day!

[@jessicagorey5066]

If you don't want the cut edges of the ribbon to fray and don't want to use fray check, you could just cut the ribbon with a hot cutter. The wood urning tools at the craft store are cheap and all come with an exacto knife attachment.

[@JanHowell]

Nice tip, thanks.

Hi Jan thanks for the tutorial, I bought iron on paper for my labels but notice that I can't then iron on the label without the label sticking to the iron. Is there some iron on paper that lets you do that? I make some clothing that requires ironing so the client needs to not have it stick to their iron once sold.
