FAO Popkins re homemade labels

Hey Popkins,
I have seen your homemade labels on the Hampers threads and am in awe! I saw your reply saying you had done them on Powerpoint but .....HOW? I have just had a mess around on it but I have never used it before. Please tell us how you did them they are fantastic.

    I'm bumping this thread because Popkins has just come back from holiday. I too would love some advice on making labels. All the labels on Popkins things are beautifully made and look very professional.

    Popkins has said on another thread:
    Basically where you click to choose a square shape or round shape etc there are loads of different shapes including stars, hearts etc. I then chose different 'shading' and colour options for the outline etc - just played around til I got the look I wanted - and for the pictures ie gingerbread man, holly, etc I just used the clipart - typed in Christmas and chose the ones I liked - HTH

    Best thing to do is have a play around with the auto shapes and text boxes. You can do it in word too, very simple but also very effective.

    To steal ideas from one person is plagiarism; to steal from many is research ;)

    To access autoshapes in Word (depending on your version), click on view/toolbars/drawing and then select the autoshapes icon, or insert/shapes.
