The Process Of Making 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.

Some tools are needed for this activity. For instance, you require a stencil, sprays, ribbons, gloves and scissors for starters. Make sure that these materials are available before commencing with the process of making cloth stickers. The stencil also needs to have a logo that has been designed depending on what you like.

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 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.

There are high chances of succeeding with the last procedure. In this step, you are required to use a simple and effective sewing machine to make a seam of the dried ribbon. It is advisable to choose strings with brighter colors for the tag to be more appealing. A metal can be used to straighten and fold the seam. Once this procedure is over, the final product is known as a cloth tag.
