Homemade Labels

However much I like the peel and stick labels you can get for wine kits, it's much more fun to make your own.  I like to employ children to help with this.  They love it.

First, ask the young person to draw something related to the type of beverage.  When they finish, scan the image and then make up your label in Powerpoint by inserting the image and adding text.  Resize the label and print!

To stick the label on the bottle, I simply use glue stick.  It keeps the label on just fine.  When you are finished with the bottle's contents, it's very easy to wash the label off because glue stick is more or less water soluble.

It's that easy.  Take a look at the mead that was bottled a few days ago.  The label adds a sort of professional touch.  (Also, notice how clear the liquid looks.  The fine solids have settled out!)
