Welcome to the Upcycle Design Lab. I craft with recycled, repurposed, and unwanted materials. There is a lot of experimenting with trash and recyclables to make them "new" again. If you enjoy reusing repairing and re-imagining old items, I hope you will stick around and check out some of my other Upcycling tutorials and join those of us who are rethinking the things we throw away.

A stamper punch set works great.

[@UpcycleDesignLab]

Thanks 😊

[@stargirl12387]

Wow, so simple. I’ve been watching pressure canning videos to remove the label. This is sooooo inspiring to do now all thank to you. I can wait to start tomorrow morning. Bless you and your family 🪴

Bonjour,
Merci pour ce tuto.
Ca fait longtemps que cherchais a résoudre mon problème d'étiquetage.
je ne sais pas si je réussirais aussi bien mais ton idée est géniale
amicalement de France

[@UpcycleDesignLab]

Thanks so much for watching. I am sure you would be able to make these if you would like to. I find that it is a relaxing activity to do the embossing while I am watching tv.

Thank you 😊

[@teresa6775]

I'm wondering how it would work using carbon paper when embossing so the letters would be a darker color or painting the label, then wiping the top so the paint is still in the letters. Love this project !!! Thanks for sharing !!!

[@UpcycleDesignLab]

Hi Teresa - I do wish the letters would show up better. Someone also mentioned using some sort of wax. The difficulty is that the aluminum has some sort of plastic spray coating to keep the beverage from tasting like metal so a lot of paints etc don't stay on. But I do like to experiment so thanks for the idea and for watching. 🙂

[@susanwhittaker865]

I was wondering, why do you put 2 'jump rings' on, but only use 1. I am loving this label idea by the way. And will definately enjoy making some.

[@UpcycleDesignLab]

Hi Susan - sorry I don't understand your question but thanks for watching. 🙂

[@shanene3145]

Are the edges pretty sharp? That's the only thing I'm concern about

[@UpcycleDesignLab]

Hi thanks for watching. This video might help. th-cam.com/video/uKRd750NlRE/w-d-xo.html

[@Jasonthehammer]

Engraving tags?

[@sliceoflife1821]

Embossing the garden tags- doesn’t the Cricut machine have an embossing feature? Do you think it could do these?

[@UpcycleDesignLab]

Hi - I do believe that the cricut has a tool for this but I a not sure how it works. Thanks for watching 😊

[@J3nnycat]

would the edges be razor sharp?

[@UpcycleDesignLab]

HI Jenny - the edges aren't really sharp but I suppose they could give you a paper cut if handled incorrectly. Thanks for watching.
