Beer
& Wine Bottle Labels - Canning Jar Labels
A
Professional homebrewed label should be the final ingredient in any
homebrew recipe. Do Not label
your favorite homebrew with masking tape. Make your own
personal homebrewed label from scratch for just pennies.
A
DIY Beer Label, Wine Label, or homemade Canning Jar Label, tells a lot
about the maker and/or the contents.
- The
proper custom wine label will
relay the impression that the wine is suitable for special occasions.
- A
humorous beer label states;
“This is a party beer to be shared with a group of
friends.”
- A
homemade canning jar label
with an image of the contents says; “I Grew this and Canned
it Myself with Love.”
Here
is the beauty of this label making process:
- Each
batch can have its own label and personality.
- Multiple
yet individual
labels. For example you could setup your word processor to
print
10 labels per page and print a unique bottle number on each label (6 of
20).
- The
base label material can be any color or texture you printer can handle.
- Cut
your homebrewed label to any shape or use specialty scissors for a
decorative border.
- Use
photos, artwork, birthday or greeting cards as labels.
- Hand
or machine stitch cloth labels for special gift bottles.
The
perfect homebrewed label(s) should relay two messages to the recipient.
- The
bottle contents,
maker, year, storage requirements, expiration dates, etc.
That
information found on that piece of masking tape on the bottle and the
info in your head.
- Facts
of interest
concerning this unique bottle, e.g. grapes from your garden or hops
imported form Germany or brewed for the 2008 Milwaukee
Brewer’s
Festival.
I prefer the
two label
approach. The first label passes along all the necessary
information allowing full artistic license for the second label.
The whole process of
making a
homebrewed label is very similar to the other label projects on this
site. Refer to How to Make Stickers for the label
making basics.
Here
are a few differences.
When making a long label
for a curved surface; use several pieces of carpet tape parallel to the
curve to avoid buckling.
Remember to experiment
first on an old bottle and unwanted or blank label material.
Positioning a label “squarely”
on a curved
surface may prove to be
challenging. For a detailed discussion on how that is done, to go our
Bottle Labeling Jig Page, How
to
position a Label on a Bottle.
Teachers,
don’t forget about our school ID stickers project.
This idea just might be the answer to your lost homework problems.
Please tell your fellow teachers about HOW TO
MAKE CUSTOM STICKERS AND LABELS,
how2stickers.com.
They also may benefit
from the School ID Stickers
project tutorial. Computer stickers are not the only labeling method.
Art teachers can
employ these methods to build handcrafted stickers for ID purposes.
Although the emphasis
of HOW TO MAKE CUSTOM STICKERS AND LABELS
is making computer generated professional stickers, the methods and
techniques are the same for homemade stickers and handcrafted stickers.
I have made thousands
of custom
stickers, and I feel these Do It Yourself instructions will help you
get a good start on your own DIY custom stickers. A homemade
professional sticker is easier than you think. Be sure to visit all
pages, to get all the Sticker Making
Tips,
