I just finished the tutorial for making Tinted Lemon Lip Balm, and as promised, here is the tutorial on how to make labels for the tubes. Super cheap and adorable labels, I might add. I know there are other options online, where you can buy fancy labels and what not, but it's just not as satisfying and industrious as these little beasties.
Okay, to start, gather some supplies. You will need:
- Scrapbook paper of your choosing.
- Clear packing tape.
- Scissors and/or guillotine cutter.
- Return address labels, or plain printer paper.
Take your scrapbook paper and cut pieces measuring 2"x 1 3/4". If you plan on using labels, you can either print or hand write the ingredients. I chose the printing method, because I didn't want to write the same thing 11 times. You don't even need the sticky labels. You can print the ingredients onto a piece of paper and cut them down to size.
I placed the labels in the middle of the scrapbook paper pieces.
Take the packing tape and roll out a strip onto the table, sticky side up. Turn the scrapbook paper pieces over and place them on the tape. Keep at least a quarter of an inch of tape between each piece.
Cut the tape, making sure to leave excess on each side of paper. The tape should fit perfectly on the lip balm tubes. Press the edges of the tape onto the tubes, and voila!
Easy lip balm tube labels! Give them a try and let me know what you think.
