I started to make my own labels with a very easy and cheap technique. Shrinking paper !
Needed : of course shrinking paper, pencil, . passer (kompas), perforator, nailfile, gum, and a large oventray
Draw on the rough side (I used frosted white shrinking paper) circless the size of a
2 € piece with the passer. Cut them out and make a little hole in it with the perforator. The pencil lines can be gumed out.
If you have some rough sides, you can file them with the nailfile.
Put you name on with a sharp pencil.
Put them in a large oventray and see to it that they are not too close to each other, because you will see odd things happen in the oven. Put them in a preheated oven of about 175 °c for about 7 to 8 minutes.
Keep looking and don't panic because you will see them bold up and shrink.
When this process is finished they will be totally flat and thick.
