Abby, Thanks for the step by step label making tutorial! After you create the label, do you print it on some kind of sticker paper? Also, how do you make your labels with the special tape you have?
Thanks, Gina. Hi, Gina! I do different things with the labels. A lot of times I'll print them out on cardstock and laminate them with my laminator. Thank you so much for the helpful information about creating labels in Word. I had no idea so many options existed; I attempted to create my own label with the shapes field, and I decided to check the internet for tips, and I found your blog page. Your instructions and pictures make it easy to create labels, and I prefer this method because I am able to change all parts of my label whenever I want to.
Thank you so much for these great tutorials! I have a question How do you make the double brace label like the one in your picture labeled "How to Make Pretty Labels"?? Hi, Tyler! I'm new to the diy and I love your ideas, thank you so much for sharing them. Can you tell me where I an bet the black and white zig-zag type of design you have inserted inside of the circle from and how or where to get them?
Hi, Nallely! Just do a Google image for "black and white chevron," right click the one you like and save it as a picture, then choose your saved file when you're picking the background. I hope this makes sense! HI I just subscribed! Quick question as I'm sure you've been bombarded, Is there any way when filling in the shape with an actual picture, to easily adapt the size of the picture inside the shape?
For example I found a picture of a piece of lace. I want the lace pattern to fill up the shape, and not just show the piece of lace. Does that make sense?! Hi, Erika! It's hard to know exactly without being able to see your computer, but the easiest thing to do would probably be to do a Google image search for "lace background," choose one you like and save it as a picture, then choose that picture to fill your shape.
If you're set on the lace in the picture you already have, crop it down so just the lace is showing, and then save it as a picture. If you're on a Mac, you can just right click and save as picture. If you'r on a PC, you can crop it down in Word, copy and paste it into a PowerPoint file, then right click and save as picture.
If it's just the lace showing on the file you've chosen, it should fill up the whole shape. Thanks for the reply! Ok so when I did fill in the shape the actual piece of lace shows up just like the picture but so does the white background it was photographed on I'm trying to get the lace to fill up the whole shape, like a pattern. So what I would need to do, would be to enlarge or 'zoom in' on the picture inside the shape I've made to fill in the whole shape.
Does that make sense? Would that be a more complex issue that only photoshop or something could handle? I'm not sure if I'm making sense lol! But thanks again for this tutorial it's really awesome! Oh, my Word! I've been a humongous Word supporter since the day many years ago when I realized I could actually accomplish more quickly with Word than I could with Publisher. I create stuff every single day, I think! But this Thanks so much Abby! This is wonderful. I'm loving your blog.
I do have a question though. When placing the smaller blank circle on top of the other one, what's the best way to make sure the circle gets placed exactly in the center? I'm using a Mac and I'm having a hard time getting it aligned just right. Great question, Karla! You will want to select both circles hold down the command key and click on each one , then go to the Format tab.
Toward the right side of your screen, you'll see a drop down that says "Align. Hey, Thanks for all the great info. I am using it to make a newsletter for my students. I teach elementary PE. I was going to add that an easier way to select a group of objects may be to click and drag the mouse so that you make a box around the objects. As long as all the objects you want selected are completely inside the box it will select them all at onece.
If you only get part of an object in the box it won't be selected so you can still do this selection even if you have objects nearby. Ooh thanks for the great tip, Caleb! Very helpful!

Making something in Word and handcutting is so much quicker when making only one or two of something, especially since I only have a couple of cartridges.
Not only is the unit expensive, but I can't find it in me to keep buying more cartridges with only a couple shapes included that I need. It's quite frustrating.
I'd say, save your money and stick with Word! Thanks so much for your time and effort!! Awesome blog! I hold the control key down and point and only get arrow at the out corners of box.

Thank you so much for taking the time to do a step-by step post. Mine turned out super cute! Love this!! Have a quick question.. How would you make duplicates? Hi, Valerie! After I "group" my label I just copy and paste to make duplicates. This is probably long overdue and maybe someone already mentioned it in the long comment list.

And then the inner orange dashed line is a rectangle as well; under the outline dropdown there is an option to choose dashes, and then I just made it a heavier "weight" to get the dashes to be bigger.
The "Crayons" word is just a text box with the word typed inside, and then I changed the color of each letter individually. Great post! I'm starting a business and need to get craft-y-er lol.
