How to make label tags

Last year I made these tags for a friend's party that can be used for food labels, name tags for weddings or whatever DIY. Its affordable, people loved it and I thought of sharing it with you...

You know we all have people who love us, or our work that we love. I don't know why I am saying all emotional stuff;(check out how lame and cheesey I get below)
I haven't blogged for few days now and today when I saw a member added, I thought that a life is waiting for me to be inspired. Or there's someone who I will make happy by writing this post today.... Or may be someone will read it and think what an idiot blogger.....
Now I know why a mother lives to see her children grow in front of her eyes, as she lives her life off others....O whats wrong with me today....


Anywho lets make labels.....



Food Label tags


  • Find a template like this online, or create one on your computer, can also use a nice scrap book designed paper
  • Cardboard or old business cards cut same size as you label
  • Traditional flat wooden lollipop sticks
  • Tea Light Candles or any weight to hold the sticks, rocks is a good idea too
  • Glue
  • Marker or type it on computer

Online Template Design

  1. I took this template on photoshop, you can use MS Word and add alot of labels on them side by side to be printed all together on an A4 size paper (Note: Skip this step if not printing)
  2. Now add food name text with a calligraphic font on each label, if doing manually then use your pretty handwriting that adds more of a personal touch.
  3. Print the sheets, cut each label precisely.
  4. Now take the label and glue it to cardboard (I used my former job business cards, you can glue the label on both sides of the cardboard)
  5. Glue the stick at the back of the label card
  6. Skip next step if using rocks or any weight to glue with the sticks.
  7. Burn tea light candle for a minute, so wax is soft when you insert sticks inside, let the candle wax dry.
  8. Ensure the tags can stand on there own.
Tadaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa.......You have pretttty labels.
