How do you create labels?

betterbargains4u

I want to create some pretty labels that I can print off myself.
I know that you can create simple labels in Microsoft Word, but I wanted something like these..

I also want to be able to add text to them. Can anyone help, please ?

Probably not the answer you are loking for but you can feed the same piece of paper through the printer twice!

Once for the pretty borders
Second time for the text

That label looks like it's using a custom graphic for a border. I think it's actually a label that exists because a couple of them I've seen before (curved inwards edges)

I suppose I'm looking more for a template sort of thing.

a slightly lazy option, but ive just order some address labels from https://www.vistaprint.co.uk they have endless offers on and are reasonably priced for all sorts of personalised items.

One tip is to design what you like and register etc and then leave the stuff sat in the basket, they will then email with a 'one-off' offer with free/discounts

Thanks but that really isn't an option.
I want labels that can be altered on a regular basis and then printed off my own computer.

Do you have MS Publisher? You will find plenty of templates in Publisher and they have codes which directly match up with the sticky labels you buy from shops.

Try the Avery label site - they have loads! I just downloaded a template recently and did labels for my holiday postcards - simple.

You can do it in word:-

Create a page of labels the correct format, get your Picture (boarder) paste it in to each label change the size then right click on each picture and and change the text wrapping to behind text. Then add your text over the top.

The link you have is to a pdf so it might be better to look for a jpeg png or gif of a boarder you like.

Photoshop but might require some experience.
