Making Water Bottle Labels...

Earlier this week, I had a friend asked for the template I use to make my water bottle labels. When I decided to make mine, I didn't use a template. I just messed around with it until I figured it out. Since I took the time to sit down and write out step by step instructions for her, I figured I would share it here as well. I am sure there are easier ways to do it, but this is how I make mine! Hope it is helpful!

1- Find an image by doing a google search (needs to be rectangular)

2- Copy and paste the image into a word document. Leave the page orientation as portrait.

3-  Measure the width of the label on the water bottle.

4- Once you have the width, right click on the image and choose "size".

5- Adjust the "height" to fit the measurement of the label.

6- Center it on the page.

7- Copy and paste until the page is full. Normally you can get 4 on a page.

8- Save as a PDF

9- Print on cardstock

10- Use a paper cutter to cut paper all the way across. when you tape it on the bottle, the paper will overlap a little, but is a pretty good fit!

11- peel off the labels from the bottles

12- tape one side wrap around and tape again

 

I get all my stuff printed on cardstock at Office Max. They charge .61 a page. Their quality is great! You can upload it on their website and select the store you would like to have it printed.

Here are pictures of the ones I have made:

 

Before cutting, this is what the ones for Madison's party looked like. I cut the paper all the way across so it is a strip of paper.

 

Here is the finished product!

 

Carter's were a little more complicated. My sweet friend, Morgan, shared some of her design knowledge with me. These are actully 2 Google images that I had to layer and resize. I'll have to do that a few more times to be able to give out instructions!
