When it comes to labeling things, it is usually meant to be more permanent. I came up with a way to make simples labels more resilient from wear and tear (even water resistant!)
Next time you are labeling something, after writing/printing on the labels
, spray a heavy coat of Polyurethane
or Clear Acrylic Coating
 and let it dry completely before apply the labels. This will save you from re-doing it in a few months!
(P.S. If you are wondering about my painting/spraying mat in the picture below, I use a thin laminate board, kinda like this,
over my table top to go under all my crafting projects for easy cleanup and furniture protection.)
Here it is on my Nalgene Bulk Containers
 that I use for bulk spices. Basil was treated, Oregano was not. Both ran under hot water for 2 minutes. Cool huh?
With all the free printable labels online, the sky is the limit!
You ladies are the best. I LOVE DIY stuff. your remedies for ” natural” fixes are right on. I no longer have my book where I collected “correct error” issues so I go to your site & am always able to find a remedy. Thank you
Thanks so much for reading!
Must try this as I use lots of labels on all sorts of things
thank you for the share
Would this technique work for water bottle labels?
I imagine so, they may not last as long but give it a shot and let us know how it goes! Thanks Linda
