. . . labels . . .

. . . disclaimer: i don't really 

know what i'm doing 

when it comes 

to computer bizness . . .

. . . once upon a time, 

i took a class 

at my local scrapbook store . . . 

. . . it was called 

"how to make stuff 

in microsoft word" . . .  

{or something like that}

. . . and i know there're 

much fancier 

programs and tricks . . . 

. . . use those if you know how . . .

. . . here's how i do it . . .

. . . you need to know 

how to make 

and insert text boxes . . .

. . . that's it . . .

. . . i make the first text box 

the size i want 

my finished label to be . . .

. . . this one is 

5 inches by 5 inches . . .

. . . play around 

with the color and style of line 

until you like it . . .

. . . this one's a 12 point weight . . .

. . . i made the next text box 

4.5 inches by 4.5 inches . . . 

. . . with a size 15 point dotted line . . . 

. . . my text box with the yellow line

- 4 point weight - 

is 4.2 inches by 4.2 inches . . .

. . . the box with the aqua double line

- 8 point weight - 

is 3.9 inches by 3.9 inches . . .

. . . with the addition of each text box, 

i made sure to eyeball 

and make sure 

they were centered . . .

. . . then i made an additional box that's

 3.8 inches by 3.8 inches . . .

. . . where i typed my actual text . . . 

. . . and then i printed it 

{make a test copy on paper first!}

on one of these sheets 

specifically designed 

for inkjet printers . . .

. . . this stuff is kind of expensive . . .

. . . mine came from hobby lobby . . . 

{i've also gotten it before at joann's}

. . . a package of three sheets 

runs $9.99 . . . 

. . . be sure to use 

a 40% off coupon! . . . 

. . . my best advice 

on creating these labels 

is just try it . . . 

. . . i hope you find this helpful . . .
. . . thanks for asking, gayle! . . .
