There are numerous ways of creating your own fabric labels.
This is Part One of Five tutorials I will be sharing with you about creating custom fabric labels.
Supplies:
StazOn ink pad or other waterproof ink pad
Alphabet rubber stamps
100% cotton fabrics
sewing machine
----------------------------------------
Stamp on the entire piece of fabric. Be done with all the stamping, all in one shot.
Then lightly iron it in order to set the ink
Cut the label and a decorative backing fabric.
Machine stitch the label to the backing.
Fold the edges under and stitch.
Done. The End. Fini. Super, super, easy.
NOTE:
Whether you plan to paint, dye or stamping on fabric, it is important to wash it first.
Fabrics are usually treated with sizing/starch, in order to keep it looking crisp and clean.
But this often repels the absorption of inks and paints.
If all you need is a small piece of fabric, a quick hand washing with a dish washing soap will work fine for this tutorial.
ENJOY!

Everything I see lately looks like a bracelet to me, and this would make a great looking b. I'm going to use words like Dream or Create instead of your name, and sew a tube and turn it out. Put on some pretty findings to close it, or some beads and Voila! Thanks for the Inspiration!
