			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I need labels for my items. I looked around some time ago, but I was not really happy with any of the services (printed or woven labels) &#8211; especially given the fact that the min orders are huge (what if I don&#8217;t like how they look, feel?). I saw some diy labels on different blogs, and I liked the idea. And I like to look of handmade labels. So, I did some googling and found these:</p>
<p><a href="http://craftingagreenworld.com/2009/01/23/5-ways-to-make-your-own-fabric-labels/" target="_blank">5 ways to make your own fabric labels</a> from <a href="http://craftingagreenworld.com" target="_blank">Crafting a Green World</a> &#8211; links to 5 interesting tutorials.<br />
Also from <a href="http://craftingagreenworld.com" target="_blank">Crafting a Green World</a> &#8211; <a href="http://craftingagreenworld.com/2009/01/30/finding-custom-eco-friendly-labels-and-hangtags/" target="_blank">Finding Custom Eco-friendly Labels and Hangtags</a> &#8211; if you need to buy your labels, at least be green about it.</p>
<p>I already bought twill tape and I have some iron-on transfer paper, so I will try that first. Then I was planning on getting a custom stamp from <a href="http://www.rubberstamps.net/" target="_blank">rubberstamps.net</a> and some fabric ink and try stamping. I will let you know how it goes.</p>
<p>On a similar note, and following an <a href="http://flekka.tumblr.com/post/265104082/scrapbook-reform-fabric-diy-sticker-linen-dots-by" target="_blank">earlier post</a> about fabric stickers (how would you make a sheet of sticky fabric?), here is a <a href="http://www.katherinejalaty.com/2009/02/tutorial-embroidered-fabric-labels.html" target="_blank">tutorial on how to make (sticky) fabric labels</a> (that you would use on e.g. kitchen glass containers); from <a href="http://www.katherinejalaty.com/" target="_blank">Making Chicken Salad</a>.</p>

That looks good too. Anyone knows which one is better?</p>
