How to Make Pretty Labels in Microsoft Word 

Instead of using Avery labels that will stick to my canning jars that I'll use in the pantry, I wanted to make labels that I can laminate and tape to them. I would have NEVER figured this out and am so glad I learned just a little more about Microsoft Word! Excellent video.

Just thought Id let you know I've spent a good portion of yesterday and today disgning labels due to the start I got from your video. I like things to have labels. I spent a long time making labels for my computer keyboard (stickers to over the keys); I used labels to identify the shortcut keys I use for various programs; I'm just getting started (I use A LOT of different programs -- each with its own shortcut keys). I divided each label into sections to correspond to a particular program. Well, your enthusiasm for making labels has got me fired up to make my own customs labels.

This is Awesome!!! Thank you so much for sharing how to make these beautiful labels and including one without color. We only have a black and white printer at home so this was super helpful to see that black and white labels can be beautiful too. So easy and I don't have to go out and buy anything!

Thanks for such an easy to understand demonstration! I found your video while searching for information on adding labels to quilts. I have made a few quilt labels in Word and thought I knew a lot about Word but now I REALLY know a lot about it lol. Your information is very helpful!

Great job!!!!! Love these! I label everything for my clients, and this tutorial will be great to show them how easy it is to customize to their aesthetic.

Very good video on label making. You make it easy to understand and move along at just the right pace for learning. Loved the video.

Abby, this video was AWESOME and easy to follow!!! So glad I found you on Pinterest, I was looking for labels for my sons first birthday party and your pin came up. Now I'm going to be a label making machine. lol Thanks again! -Sherl

Great video! I always make labels with PowerPoint. Awesome!

Thanks very much for the tutorial.I am just looking into ideas to create my own labels.

how epic, thanks for the tutorial.

Incredibly helpful, thank you!!

What do you print the labels on and attach to different items? Hard items and soft items like baskets.

I enjoyed your video. It was very helpful. Thank you!

I love this! I'm trying to create name tags for a professional event, and if I can figure out how to mail merge with this concept, it'll be grand! Thanks for making this so clear!

Thank you I love organization too. I am no that good at the PC but I think you described yourself well and I can follow. Thanks for sharing

Hi Abby, thanks for doing a video on this topic. I would also like to request to see videos on creating planners using Word, and Excel (i have seen the printable one you have t.y) Also making a planner from scratch and what to look for when buying a punch holder to create these beautiful planners. Thank you!😊

Thanks for sharing.

Abby, question. Once you have created the labels, what is the next step you do in order to make them with a sticker type background? Are you actually printing them on Avery labels or using some type of machine? Thanks for any advice.

Hi Abby, thank you for sharing. Perfect timing as I am just organising my pantry to put labels.you are perfect teacher 😀

Thanks a lot and I really mean it. Thanks for taking time to share with us.

Thank you so much. I love how you explained everything easily.

Thank you so much for the tutorial.. I always wondered how to make my own labels.. and now I can.. awesome!!!

great vid now im more confident.thank you abby

Best label making video out there!!

I know this post is over a year old but hope you can help. Love how your tutorial is in such detail. I have been trying to make primitive labels. The kind you see on old bottles. Love that vintage look. Do you have a tutorial for that, that is in microsoft word or publisher. I have lots of images, just can't get that aged look. They are usually made with a brown paper label & are darker around the edge.Some have a nice vintage frame.

Good morning Abby, I just came upon your video (years later)...I thank you for your help with the Mac version of formatting...This will better help me with my future labeling needs...Again, thanks!!!!

Very helpful tutorial. Thanks!

Can you print them using clear adhesive? I want clear labels will it still work?

Hello, Thank you so much for your help.i really appreciate it you're a lifesaver.

Thanks for this great tutorial!

Thank you so much, you did good for me.

"Thumbs UP!" Great video/tutorial Thank you so much for sharing this.

Hi there, thanks for the video. How do you print these once done? Will they be printable at like Staples or do you need a special label maker for printing?

very helpful tutorial - thank you

THANK YOU FOR THIS VIDEO!!! ❤️

Thank you for the great tutorial! Very much appreciated 😊

Most helpful video on word. Thank you. But how do I get rid of my text box line?

This was a great tutorial

Thank you so much very helpful, I have watched a few videos and nobody shows how to save and print these labels!!! Do you have or know any videos please? Thanks

Thanks for the tutorial. I'm pulling my hair out getting used to the Mac Pro. If I'm adding an image and want to insert a monogram would I have to go through all the same steps as the chalkboard background? Update ...I think I figured it out thanks to you. It seems like more steps then in the old windows pc version. Thanks again

Awesome help! Thank you so much for making this video, I was doing everything the hard way :-)

Great label video's but how would I print them out on adhesive paper, for example a 2-1/2 x 6 label. Thanks

Thank you!!!!

Thanks so much for the instruction! So very helpful!!!!!!!! I'm a newbie at making handmade cards and can use this technique for making sentiment labels on the front of a card (happy bday, etc). Anyway, was wondering if you could do a tutorial on using an arched banner (in Shapes)? I don't know how to arch the text to fit inside that shape. Also, in general, am having difficulty with the text fitting correctly (in a round label) even though I shrink the font. I've played around with adjusting the size of both the text box and font size - - but I end up with a font that's too small or the text box in cutting into any decorative dashes/lines that I've put on the second shape. Also, the sizes I'm using for these sentiment labels are small (i.e. the inside circle that holds the text box is approx. 1" up to 1 1/4" - with overall size of outside circle 1 1/4" to 1 1/2". I use a PC (Microsoft Word). Thanks if you can give any advice - and again, thanks for doing this tutorial -it's sooooo appreciated!

Thanks for the video. I really don’t know how can I get word at iPad , please help me. Thanks

Very helpful. Thank you

Thanks for your help. My question does not relate to labels, however I would like to know how to insert a water icon on my word document. Please help.

Hello, I love this tutorial. So helpful. I was wondering if you could explain to me how to make duplicates of your label in Microsoft? I have a single label made, but need a whole page of the same label for my lip balm. Could you help?
