I am making my own bubble, wine bottle, and chocolate bar labels. I was just wondering what everyone else has used to put them on? Or if anyone has any ideas that would be great.

So far I have tried photo sticker squares for scrapbooking and I am not sure they are going to stick to the bubbles.

I am printing out on standard paper and just needs some ideas on how to either glue/tape them on with it still looking nice and sticking good.

Wine bottles are fairly easy:
http://www.undergrounddigital.com/winemaking/weddinglabels.htm
http://www.grapestompers.com/articles/wine_labels.htm (You could also try the spray adhesive from a craft store instead of a glue stick or white glue)
http://www.winelabels.org/artmake.htm (some neat ideas here)

Chocolate bars are easy, too:
go here: http://desktoppub.about.com/od/candywrappers/l/bl_cwtemplates.htm, go down to the Golden Anniversary wrapper, and download it (here's hoping you have MS Publisher). Then just customize, cut out, use a glue stick where it says, and you're done.
No Publisher, or have a special size bar? Try this site: http://www.craftbits.com/viewProject.do?projectID=147

Now, the bubbles.... are these plastic bottles? I imagine you could do the same process as with the wine bottles, and just adjust the size to fit the bottle, or you could purchase some pre-adhered labels in the size you want (Avery brand or ones that list comparable Avery brand numbers will have templates in Word).

HTH,
Melissa

if you are using just standard paper you could try double sided tape, or a thin layer of glue with a hot glue gun, ive also heard of people just using a glue stick but it would have to be a good one....or you could also use avery lables from staples, that would save time too and they are pretty cheap

ummmm this may sound weird....but depending on the size of your labels, what about using pakcing tape, or any other kind of wide clear tape?

If you haven't printed off the things yet you could size them to be able to work with the tape...?....

or what about going ultra crafty, and some how use ribbon to tie them on...like by putting little slits through the pieces of paper and sticking the ribbon through it to hold it in place with a hive little bow?....  that sounds WAY too martha stewart...hee hee hee

But if you haven't printed them I know you can buy letter size bits of sticky paper from office places, and then you could jsut cut out whatever the size is....

good luck, hopefully you canf igure osmething out

Thanks so much for your help.

For the bubbles I will buy some double sided tape since I have already printed them out.

I will think about the sticky labels for the wine bottles, I am just worried about putting them on crooked lol...
