How To Make Clothing Labels At Home

By Charles Lee


Textile companies utilize soft plastic stickers on fabricated clothes for multiple reasons. They use these tags to display the properties and washing guidelines of a cloth fabric. People are advised to read the clothing labels once they have purchased a new cloth. You are also able to make these stickers locally after following certain simple steps. These procedures will work especially when you make and sell handmade items.

Several materials that you will require before making cloth stickers. The first one is a stencil with a logo of your business. Spray paints, ribbons, an iron box, scissors and some gloves are also needed. The first procedure is to ensure that the stencil contains the logo of your business. You should contact specialists who utilize laser cutters to embed logos on stencils.

Most people prefer embedding logos on a stencil by themselves. In this case, you require a machine known as a laser cutter. This machine embeds texts and images that have been designed using graphics software onto a stencil. Ensure that you seek guidance when working with the graphics software and laser cutters.

The step is to spray the paint on the acrylic sheet. It is important to gather the ribbon, scissors, gloves and spray paint during this procedure. Make sure that the spray paint has a working nozzle. Once these materials have been gathered, you can proceed with painting in a well-ventilated room. You can opt to paint outside because of the free flow of air. Test your spray because when it emits heavy spray, the stencil is likely to saturate. A light spray is preferred for this activity.

The procedure entails slotting a clean ribbon with caution on the stencil. This step should be undertaken with care so as to ensure that the logo is copied well to a ribbon. A spray paint with an efficient nozzle is also required in this process. Your hand should move around the stencil at a distance of ten inches.

You need to exercise caution when carrying out the fifth procedure. To be precise, you need to ensure that the stencil is not fully covered with paint. Another important thing to do is to cut the ribbon slowly making sure that it does not touch the stencil at the back. You can clean the stencil or buy a brand new one when it is covered in paint.

The ribbon should be allowed to dry for some time once you are done with painting. After drying, cut out the ribbon into diverse lengths by using a pair of scissors. Pieces of the ribbon that are obtained from this procedure can be sewn to obtain nice tags. Furthermore, these pieces are sewed on the edges for the tags to appear more stylish.

You are likely to succeed with sewing especially if you utilize with an easy to use a sewing machine. Choose a string color that matches the tags obtained from dried ribbons. The last procedure is to straighten the tag using an iron. Ensure that the iron is operating at an optimum temperature for the material to be straightened uniformly.
