I used my silhouette cameo to develop the final product; I chose a couple of the pre-made designs from the online store (the heart design and fillagree), but more importantly, I knew it would be a real timesaver when it came to cutting the labels. Because the label is only 1 3/8 x 3 3/4 it was important to see it printed along the way....looking at a "zoomed in" version of it while working on the computer, was really deceiving. So tweak and print was definitely a part of the process.
From there it was just a matter of buying some adhesive paper and feeding it through the machine for the cuts. I bought a 10 sheet package of Avery adhesive paper at Staples, which netted me a total of 60 labels for under $17. VoilĂ ! Custom made labels. Aren't they cute?
Removing the old labels is pretty simple; you can usually remove them in just a couple of large pieces. My daughter found a few online stores to choose from to purchase bulk tic-tacs (in all different colors if you want)....do a search and you will see the many ideas floating around out there, including some fun ideas for kids at holiday time. Whatever the occasion, this project has very little out-of-pocket costs while making a gift with some fun WOW factor.
