Easy option - take a piece of fabric slightly bigger than your printer paper. Spray the paper with spray baste, (505, June Taylor etc) make sure you get the edges spayed very well. Stick the sprayed paper to the fabric and smooth down. Then rotary cut the fabric to be even with the paper, EXACTLY the size of the paper. Then put in the print tray and print. No glue, no freezer paper, easy and simple. This works with any printer, laser, or inkjet just make sure you iron the printing after it dries to set the ink.

LIVINPJS. Very many thanks. So helpful. I've got 2 laser printers, inkjet printers drove me bats, cost me a fortune for inks. I have to try your method. I have all the "ingredients" in my craftroom including the wax paper. I paid €17.95 for one REYNOLDS wax paper roll 🙄. Thanks once again for these great and previous tips. STAY SAFE 😷🥰 a big hug from France 👍👍👍💐💐💐🥰

Great tip! We're to work smarter, not harder.

I have used this method once before, and its the best one around!..7 years alter still using it! Thanks Vanessa

"crafty" is an understatement.

I am so happy you leave your tutorials up...11 years later this is still so helpful😊💖👌

I just read a few comments below, and I agree with their commendations. The first thought I had as I watched this video was how clear and concise you are in your presentation. I was thinking how wonderful you would be in a high school sewing class, demonstrating your techniques. I spent thirty some years in the classroom many of which as a supervising teacher for young teachers.You are a natural. God bless you.

Just made my first label, and Voila!!! I will be putting this on my Granddaughter's Memory Quilt. So absolutely thrilled with how easy and how perfectly professional it looks. Thank you over and over.

Hi Vanessa; I have been following you for about 4 years- since I became semi retired! I love all you do- even the Spanish bits

I can't tell you how many times I've found your videos while doing a search. All of them have been so helpful. Thanks so much!

Excellent, Crafty Gemini. It works great, thank you! I went an extra step in first printing out the label on the printer paper first, then apply the freezer paper and fabric, etc. The background printing of the label helps me print out in the exact spot I want!

I have been searching for a way to label the bags I make and this is the easiest tutorial ever! Thank you so much for making it! :)

What???!!!!! I spent money on transfer paper, reading and rereading the instructions, looking for a no steam iron (per instructions) and I already have everything I need based on your video. Done deal! Thank you.

Great tutorial - finally someone with a quick and complete helpful video! Thanks

This method is still THE BEST method for making and applying quilt labels. It's hands-down the easiest method, yields the best results, and is economical. Thanks again for sharing!

Great tip! I'm going to use it, I also thought of a way for you to place the fabric in place, just print your design on the paper first then place the freezer paper and fabric right over the printed text or image and it should line up every time. thanks again.

This is seriously going to help me out so much. Thank you a dozen times over!!!

Have just watched this & straight away made some photos for use on bibs for my Great Grand daughter with family on it. worked BEAUTIFULLY. Can not now wait to embroider on them and see the reaction to them. So simple an idea but well presented. Thank you for this

Awesome! Now I can finally stop buying expensive materials! Thank you for sharing your gifts and talents to all! God bless you!

That label maker was KING!!

I love this. I had labels printed years ago and have a ton left -- but sometimes you want a more handmade look, and using this method I can also add the size of the garment. This is perfect. Thanks!

have to say great job, I have watched tons of sewing shows, and did not get half the information from them as I did from you. Also love that u used every thing that I have in my house. GIVE YOURSELF A BIG PAT ON THE BACK!!!

I am blown away! Your tutorial is thorough, easy to understand and amazing! I am excited to try this myself! Thank you!!!

Thank you so much for this tutorial. You don’t know how long I’ve been wanting to do my own labels....again, thanks. God bless

I just used this video for the 2nd time, and printed 2 labels out at the same time! This is so easy to do! Thank you.

You are so flippin smart!! LOVE THIS!

i've done a lot of projects like this. You explained it very well. I found, like you did, that some inks fade and wash out. You need to use a treated fabric like the packaged, paper backed fabric in any fabric store. Or you can make your own treated fabric. I've used Jenkins Bubble Jet Set, a two part liquid fabric treatment on my precut 8x10 pieces of fabric, air dry the fabric, then dry it in the dryer, then cut freezer paper to be able to run through the printer. Iron fabric onto the freezer paper. It's just the most time consuming and messy process. I love Blumenthal Lansing Crafter's Image Silk, Cotton Twill, or Cotton. All paper backed. Can be found on Amazon in rolls that you can cut to whatever size you want! Just throw it in your printer and print! Easy Peasy.

Fantastic tutorial, Vanessa!! Thank you for sharing your wisdom with others! Beth

Wow great idea. And the best part is it's free. Love it.

This is great. I knit and crochet for different people in the family and for different occasions, personalizing the label makes the project even more personal. Thanks for the how-to.

made my own labels using your technique!!!!!!!!!! thank you thank you!!!!!

Thank you. You are such a creative teacher.

I loved this. I was able to put a personalized poem on an afghan for my brother. He was so impressed, and it looked so nice. Thank you so much for this tip. Oh Congrats on your new baby daughter.

Vanassa. You always come through for my learning all this stuff.

I have looked at other tutorials prior to watching yours. They just didn't work. I figured what do I have to lose as this looks pretty simple. So, I tried your method and find it to be the best one I have ever tried!!! I will make this my "go-to" label maker from now on. Thank you so much.

Thanks I keep coming back to you for many reasons so I just want to say thank you for many things you may never hear about but thanks so much. Love this one.

It blows my mind that this is that simple. Great Job

This was so very easy and helpful! Thank you so much for sharing. It saves a lot of money! This opens a door to a whole new world of printing on fabric!

Oh wow! This is so cool. I've used fabric paper, but never thought about using pieces of fabric from home. Love it! Also, thank you for talking where anyone can understand the "lingo" in your tutorials.

Glad you enjoyed it. Thanks!

worked perfectly! made one up for my husbands surprise quilt and then embroidered a nice border around the text - terrific!!! Thanks!!

I come back to this tut for years already when I use freezer paper for appliqué or quilt labels 😊

girl you are brilliant. I don't know why I didn't think of this. this is so much more cost-effective than ordering tags because I like to add the year that I make things. and if I mess it up I can start over instead of pulling out the embroidery machine hooking up the embroidery hoop and hoping that it doesn't snag on the back of my quilt material.

Jeepers! This is outstanding. Thank you for taking the time to post this video. It is amazing what you can do with household products.

What a great idea!! I'm headed to the store for freezer paper right now!

Great video, clear instructions and easy steps to follow. Thank you.

Thank you so much! I like to knit and crochet, and so I've been trying to figure out an economical way to make labels, you just saved me so much time and so many headaches. Thank you.

Thank you for sharing this brilliant way for label making. My girl friend recently started her own handmade business, Petiy Lovely and this was probably the best thing she seen so far and its really useful. Thank you so much!

Love this perfect!! Love you crafty gemini! You have some really great videos

Ingenious!! Excellent idea!! Can't wait to try myself.

GREAT!!! THANKS FOR TAKING THE TIME TO SHARE

Wonderful tutorial! Thank you SO much for sharing. I simply used a craft glue stick to adhere the fabric (it peeled off fine with minimal residue). I ironed to set, machine washed again to verify it would not fade. INCREDIBLE! Thank you again for sharing. This will make customizing my quilts SO much easier :)

Young lady, you should have your own TV show. Your instructions are so clear and your speaking voice is great, so concise and easy to understand. I've watched several of your videos and keep wondering where to accent is from...I'm guessing somewhere northeast USA. Alice near Atlanta and old enough to be your grandma.

This is really great! It is so nice to see how to do something without having to spend a lot of money! Thank you.

Great idea. Thanks!

wow, who would've thought you could do this, trying tonight!

Great, I'm going to try this now. Thanks for taking the time to make the video, much appreciated.

Thank you so much for this tips, now I can add my own label to the quilt for my grandson.

Great time saver and professional looking

I am making a memory quilt for my granddaughter and was about to order labels. How silly of me:) Just came across your marvelous tutorial and am in love with it. Thank you so much.

Wow!!! And to think I was about to purchase some of these from someone for them to make for me...Thanks so much. Now I can make my own. Money saved! Cha Ching!!!

wow....i didn't think of this and I think this is great! thank you for showing....

Glad to help. Thanks for watching. :o)

You can definitely find freezer paper in Canada. I found it in Safeway near the wax paper. It's meant for storing meat in the freezer, so look for it in the food storage area in your grocery store. I found Reynolds brand in Vancouver.

this is the most helpful tutorial ive ever seen! thanx a lot :D

FANTASTIC!!! Thank you SO SO SO MOUCH!!!!

Was looking for how to make my own labels and this is it!! THANK YOU!

No problem. Glad to share!

That’s so cool! Thanks for sharing!!!

This going to save me sooooo much money! THANK YOU so much for this!

THAT IS SOOO SOOO SOOO AWESOME!!

What a great tutorial! Can't wait to try it!

This is awesome. Perfect for my upcoming products. Thanks so much for sharing.

This is a great idea! Thanks for sharing!

THAT WAS PRETTY COOL I WOULD HAVE THOUGHT OF THAT THANK YOU FOR SHARING YOUR TUTORIAL

An absolute fantastic idea Vanessa, thanks!

Fantastic! Thanks for sharing this. I am aways making things and now I can label them.

Love this idea you are a real life saver

YOU ARE A GENIUS!

Thanks so much! I have a ton more where this came from. Keep searching through my vids... the more recent ones are better quality and in HD. Have fun! :o)

This is super nifty. Will most def be doing this for the clothes I make for others now.

thank you for your videos. they are so easy to follow. Keep up the great work.

Great video. Can't wait to try this idea.

WOW!!! IM IMPRESSED. Thank you very much for sharing your knowlege.

@Euitha I use Canon too. Some inks will be permanent and others will wash out. The only way to know for sure is to try it out. If the butcher paper has one shiny side and the other is just paper then yea... I only know it as freezer paper but it is used to wrap meats for the freezer so they may very well be the same thing. Hope that helps.

Great! I'm glad to help.

Great tutorial...Thanks....Can't wait to try it....

Make your design in Word (or whatever program you have) and print it on your printer paper BEFORE adhering the freezer paper and cloth. This printed page will serve as a guide so you know exactly where to place the freezer wrap and cloth for your labels. Hope this helps!! PS. Your tutorials are GREAT!!

Glad to help. Have fun!

No problem. Glad to help!

Now that's cool!

Excellent! Thanks for a most useful video!

that looked easy i must try it. thank you.

Oh gosh. THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THIS. I've recently started doing bookbinding by hand and I've been looking for ways to get words onto the covers without having to resort to stickers/glued paper. Using this method and some heat 'n' bond fabric adhesive, I could do this easily! Thank you so much -- you're a life saver! ^_^

What a fun video. I'm going to try this for sure.

Super information. Great presentation. Thanks for posting. A good money saver as well as personalization!

Excellent tutorial, thanks!!

ohhh my Lord I`m in love with ur videos

this is a wonderful idea I did not think to glue the freezer paper to the printer paper Thanks for doing this video.

I'VE BEEN LOOKING FOR SOMETHING LIKE THIS. Thank you so much!!

this is so neat and inexpensive...I love ideas like these!!

Hey Vanessa, Another great video, as usual. I tried it, exactly as you showed in your tutorial, and it came out just perfect. Since I didn't trust my ability to "guess" as to the proper placement for the text, I printed it out first on a practice sheet to be sure it was where I wanted. Like I said, just GREAT! Thanks tons, for this tip. Keep 'um coming, Lady! Hugs, Suzy
