To begin with, we start by printing the files from your home computer or local printer.

Printing Mediums: We like to use photopaper to print the majority of our pages because it gives a professional look, the color is really saturated and beautiful.  Also, it is waterproof!
When we need an adhesive backing, we use onlinelabels.com glossy inkjet labels.  (Full sheet 8.5×11 of label paper).  It looks just like the photopaper but it sticks!

2″ Party Logos:
We are going to start with the 2″ party logos.  We recommend using 2″ hand-lever craft punches for circles and scallops.  For straight edges, we use paper trimmers.

A tip when using punches, is to turn the punch upside down so you can center your circle on the square logo correctly.

Square logos can be used for on several items to embellish party details.  Sometimes we use them to make hang-tags (see below).

They can be printed on 8.5″ x 11″ label paper for stickers as well (we love  onlinelabels.com) .  You can also tape them onto favor treats/favors, containers and more.

To make a hang-tag, use a small hole punch, and tie on ribbon.  So cute and versatile!

Next we want to show you how to make a couple different cupcake toppers.

You can use either lollipop sticks, tooth picks or even wooden skewers if you need some height!

Take your chosen stick, and punched party logo and tape together – it’s a piece of cake!

To make our Girls Night Banner, we used the fan ruffle effect, just on a larger scale (with tissue paper).

We print the pages on photopaper, cut out each letter and taped that scalloped frame to each ruffle.  We cut slits on each (left/right) side of every letter, and then strung fishing line through the letters.

Flat Party Labels:  Once you print your page (on either cardstock, photopaper or label sheets), you will need to hand-cut along the dotted lines with scissors.  We chose to use photopaper for this project.

You can simply tape them on or you can use ribbon to tie them onto bottles, decanters, and more.

To use ribbon, we carefully slice top and bottom of the label with an exacto knife.

Once slices are made, insert ribbon through the top slit, and then push back through the bottom slit.

Once ribbon is placed, trim ribbon edges.

If you want to do a simpler version, just tape them on to the ribbon – it works just as well!

Drink Wraps:  Print the sheets on 8.5×11 label paper or photopaper.  Some people print on cardstock, and that is fine but we recommend using a laser jet printer to ensure no ink bleed.  First you will want to cut them with a paper trimmer or hand-cut with scissors.

Next peel off your water bottle label or soda bottle label (note if using soda bottles, soak in hot soapy water to remove labels easily).

Once labels are removed, simply tape on – again, we use water-proof photo paper.  (You can use other types of paper, and laser printers work best to prevent water runs if printing on non-waterproof paper)

See below for Bridesmaids drink wraps on pink lemonade bottles.

The fun thing about our designs is that they really are quite versatile if you want to get creative.

For instance, you can use the drink wrap as a napkin wrap.  Choose your napkin & silverware… trim your drink wrap label…. and tape together in the back.  You can use these for cylindrical containers, condiment containers and more!

Party Flags: These are always a great accent.  They can be used as toothpick toppers (the most common use), but they can be turned into other accents as well.  We used them for wine glass embellishments, and also for lipgloss tags.

Once you print & cut them out (on photo paper or 8.5″x11″ full sheets of unscored label paper), you can stick them together with double-sided tape or use the adhesive backing.  Using label paper is sometimes a little tricky to line up the two sides of the flag to close shut, but that works as well.
