How To Make Clothing Labels At Home

By Charles Lee


There are special stickers that are embedded on clothes by textile companies. These stickers are usually referred to clothing labels because they contain relevant information about cloth. Most of these stickers usually have a logo of the textile company. Over the years, people have tried to mimic the process used by textile industries to make these stickers. It is possible to make yours once you follow certain simple procedures.

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.

You can also embed a logo on a stencil yourself when you have a simple laser cutting machine. Before embedding the logo, you will need to design it using graphics design software. This computer program enables you to produce two-dimensional graphics. The designed logo can be embedded on a special paper known as an acrylic leaf.

The procedure involves spraying paint on an acrylic leaf. This procedure should commence once you have ensured that gloves, spray paints and scissors are available. Furthermore, it is wise to ensure that the spray paint does not emit thick paint because this will saturate the tool. In this case, you need to purchase a new spray paint from a hardware store. Painting should take place in a properly ventilated room. You can also decide to carry out the painting procedure outside.

The next step is to slot a ribbon piece over the stencil. You can spray over the ribbon after putting on gloves to protect your hands. Ensure that your arm moves around and maintains a constant distance when spraying on the stencil. To be precise, the distance between your hand and the equipment should be about fifteen inches. This distance ensures that spraying takes place effectively.

Another step should be undertaken with care to ensure that paint does not touch the parts of a stencil. You should position it carefully. Once you are done with spraying, you should remove the ribbon slowly by ensuring that its surface does not touch the template. Stencils can be cleaned or replaced whenever they are saturated with paint.

The ribbon needs to dry before it is cut into several pieces. This material contains a shadow copy of the logo that was embedded in a template. You can leave it outside or in a well-lit room to dry. It is also important to ensure that dust does not contaminate this material when drying because this will affect the appearance of the final product.

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.
