What is it for?

A tag is the face of your clothes, because on this small piece of cloth all the information about the product is collected:

• name - the name of the company or the pseudonym of the person who produced the garment;
• information about the purpose of the thing;
• recommendations for washing.

In addition, the label gives the handicrafts more uniqueness.

Important! Of course, it can be ordered in a special workshop, but usually there produce labels in very large runs, which means that you will overpay very heavily. Moreover, it will be more pleasant if you make them in your corporate style, by yourself having developed a design, and propagate as you need.

Self-made

So, to create labels for clothes with your own hands, you do not need to get a graphic designer education. The procedure for creating a logo is very easy, because you will need minimal knowledge of any graphics editor and a drop of imagination.

Method 1

The following items will be needed for further action:

• Special thermotransfer paper for light fabrics.
• Light satin tape meter( 1-2 cm wide).
• Laser or color printer.
• Scissors for fabric.
• A small piece of cloth.
• Lighters.

Let's move on to developing the design and further manufacturing the label. In order to create tags for clothes with your own hands, you must follow the following algorithm:

1. Draw your brand logo in your favorite image editor. Also you can refer to the help of an experienced designer, download an image on the Internet or change a little another's label.

Important! The colors on your logo should be a minimum number( a maximum of two).

1. When the logo is coined and drawn, it must be mirrored. This is necessary for convenient printing of the tag on the fabric.
2. Create a page in A4 format and completely fill it with newly invented labels.

Important! Make sure that there is enough space between the inserts.

1. Print this sheet on thermal transfer paper, cut it into squares with logos.
2. Leave from the edges of the satin ribbon 1,5-2 cm and put a printed blank on it, then cover with a piece of soft cloth prepared beforehand and iron the structure with iron without using steam.

Important! To see if the workpiece is printed on the tape, turn it over and see if the workpiece is showing through it. If yes, the image is successfully reprinted.

1. Next, remove the paper and follow the ribbon with the iron again, turning it face down.
2. After retreating from the tag of 1.5 cm, cut it and process the ends with fire.

In the future, the finished label can be sewn or glued to the things you made.

Method 2

If you do not have a special thermal transfer paper, and a piece of cloth is still very necessary, use the following method for making a clothing label for yourself.

For this you will need the following items:

• Silk ribbon 2-3 cm wide
• Acetone or a nail polish remover with its presence in the composition.
• Scissors for fabric. Matches or a lighter.
• A piece of soft cloth.
• Iron.
• Ready-made reflected logos.
• Laser printer.

The manufacturing method is slightly different from the previous one. Here is a brief instruction for making similar labels:

1. Print ready-made logos on the printer and cut them.
2. Measure the desired length on the tape and copy the distance as many times as the number of images you have printed.
3. Cut the tape along the marked marks, scorch the pieces along the edges with a lighter so that it does not pour and eventually looks neat.
4. Attach a stationery clip printed on a paper label to the tape in the middle.

Important! We recommend using clips of black color, because, unlike the others, they do not shed when using aggressive means.

1. Fill the bonded materials with acetone. You do not need to regret it, the more it is poured, the better will be the final result.

Important! This procedure is best used on the prepared in advance children's oilcloth, so as not to damage the furniture.

1. Press the paper firmly against the tape with a tissue. When you see your logo on the back of the ribbon, you can carefully remove the paper.
2. Iron the tag on the reverse side. It is necessary to use the "for silk" mode.
