You can make labels for jars using adhesive craft vinyl. Simply cut the label that you want with a cutting machine in the font or design of your choice, and apply it to the jar using transfer tape. Adhesive vinyl is a versatile and durable material available in a variety of colors and finishes. We have presented below the step-by-step process of making jar labels with it.
How To Make Jar Labels Using Adhesive Craft Vinyl?
Select a jar with a smooth surface without any grooves or texture. Here’s a list of tools you’ll need followed by the procedure of designing jar labels:
Supplies Needed
- A clean jar
- Permanent adhesive vinyl (Browse the amazing variety at TeckWrap Craft).
Cutting machine (Cricut or Silhouette)- Weeding tool.
- Squeegee
- Transfer tape
- Optional: Mod Podge and brush.
Step 1: Clean Your Jar
Wash the jar thoroughly with soap and water then let it dry completely. Wipe it with isopropyl alcohol to remove the last traces of contaminants.
Step 2: Prepare Your Craft Vinyl
Upload the design of the label on the software compatible with your cutting machine and set its size according to the space on the jar. Select the material settings according to the vinyl you are using.
Step 3: Cut The Vinyl
Place a piece of vinyl bigger than your label design on the cutting mat and load it into the machine. Before sending the vinyl for cutting, always do a test cut! If the adhesive vinyl comes off easily from the backing paper, your settings are correct and you can proceed to cut your jar label.
Step 4: Weed The Vinyl
After cutting the label, slowly weed out negative vinyl pieces from it using a tweezer, weeder, or a weeding pen. Always refer to the original design so you may not miss any extra piece.
Step 5: Apply Transfer Tape
Cut a piece of transfer tape and paste it on your label. Burnish it with a squeegee to smooth it out, then remove the backing paper from the vinyl.
Step 6: Apply The Label On The Jar
Slowly place the transfer tape with the label onto the jar, starting from one corner and working your way to the center until the entire label is applied. Burnish with a squeegee using slight pressure to ensure a strong bond. Slowly remove the transfer tape, and you’re done.
Step 7: Seal It With Mod Podge (Optional)
Use Mod Podge to seal the jar label. Apply it evenly over the vinyl with a brush. Repeat the process two to three times. Set it aside in a clean space for at least 24 hours before using the jar.
