Tutorial: Water Bottle Wrappers February 19, 2012

 

Having personalized water bottle wrappers at your party is one of the simplest and most fun ways to decorate and add a touch of whimsy. I get lots of requests for water bottle wrappers and they are one of the most fun things for me to design. I especially love adding personal touches such as nutritional facts on the side. How cute is this gold and lavender water bottle wrapper for a baby shower:

I have loads of different water bottle wrappers in my store– for lots of different occasions but if you don’t see exactly what you want then you could send me an e-mail because I love custom orders.

Putting these water bottle labels on your bottles, is really easy. Here’s what you do:

So, to put these together…

1. print out the water bottle wrappers that I will e-mail you. Use high quality print setting (choose quality over speed).
 Depending on the design you choose, there will probably be five on a sheet. Ideally, you should print on heavy bright white cardstock. I like to use 110 lb paper.

2. trim the paper.  I recommend using a paper slicer to cut the labels so that you have neat, straight edges. When you cut the labels, do not cut any of the sides i.e. make sure your rectangle’s length stays 8 1/2 inches.  If your printer didn’t print to the edges then trim only one side.

3.  peel the existing label off the water bottles (this will leave some stickiness on the plastic bottle which will help your new labels stick a bit better). For these bottles, I have used Nestle Pure Life Juniors. I think the little bottles are so cute! The water bottle labels work on the full size bottles of water too.

4. wrap the new labels around the bottle. I like to use a little bit of tape (the magic transparent tape) or use a couple dabs of a glue stick on just the paper that overlaps.

This is the tape I like to use:

DO NOT put these on cold/refrigerated bottles. The condensation will make the paper wet and ruin your lovely labels.

I also sometimes like to mix things up and use them on Frappucino bottles when I serve cold drinks, such a lemonade out of a pitcher. These need a bit of goo be gone to remove the residual stickiness from the Starbucks labels and I usually put them in the dishwasher too! Don’t they look super cute?

Here are some other water bottle wrappers available in my store. Simply click on any of the photos to the taken to the item listing 🙂

Blue and Yellow Baby Shower January 24, 2012

Today, I have photos to share with you from Danielle’s baby shower, held on Saturday. She is expecting her son, James, on February 29th. How exciting… a leap year baby! For her invites and cake, the shower host, Cheryl,  used Wilton’s Baby Feet collection. Look how adorable the cake came out!

To compliment the cake, she choose light blue and buttercream yellow decorations. Check out the water bottle wrapper and the personalized chocolate bars! The water bottle wrappers have either the name of the baby or the due date. Both these items are now available in my Etsy store. And if you are hosting a baby shower and love the stripes and polka dots, but need different colors, then please contact me because I am happy to customize the color on any of my party printables.

Food wise, Cheryl had a lovely classic brunch spread: chicken salad with fresh croissants, fruit with vanilla dip, gluten free bread with spinach dip, cheese and crackers, vegetables and dip, mini quiches, etc.

Congratulations Danielle and we look forward to meeting baby James very soon!

Butterflies and Dragonflies August 29, 2011

Take a look at these photos from Sophia’s 4th birthday party! Her mom loves dragonflies and since Sophia’s birthday is in August, she wanted something summery, with pretty girly colors. The Butterfly and Dragonfly collection from my Etsy store worked out perfectly!

In the above tablescape , you can see see the cupcake toppers, the cupcake wrappers, and water bottle wrappers. For the goody bags, they included bottles of bubbles (a big hit, I’m sure) which were incorporated into the theme of the party by adding the cute matching bubble labels! They also included a full size Hershey bar with a personalized wrapper. The bubble labels and the chocolate bar wrapper are not currently listed in my Etsy store, but if you are interested in those, you can contact me 🙂

Here are some more photos from the party! Looks adorable and I’m sure the birthday girl had a fabulous birthday. And great job on the handmade cupcakes!
