I have close to 300 dahlias planted this year. I normally hand write labels for identification. This year I am trying out a new system. I have a spreadsheet on Google that I list all of my dahlias. I exported the sheet to an OpenOffice format (.ods). Using OpenOffice I created an OpenOffice database. Then I used the Label function in OO to generate labels. I used Avery 1X2 5/8 labels with a laser printer. I had a ton of these address labels from a previous life. The plant sticks (markers from www.dpind.com) that I use are only 5/8 inches wide, so I had to fold the label over. Not shown in the photo, the reverse side has some additional plant info (in a smaller font). Time will tell if these labels will last through the season. I normally use Sharpie industrial pens. Normal ink tends to fade out quickly. This whole process was very easy to do. However, I did spend a lot of time checking out different fonts. Detailed instructions on how to print labels from OO can be found on the web. Printing labels like this will also help quite a bit when I store the tubers over winter.
LABEL WHORE....Those old labels from a bygone era
LABEL WHORE is all about LABELS ON CLOTHING and folks who LOVE them!
Vintage labels have awesome graphic design. So, run to your local thrift shop, vintage shop, or, hella yes, your own closet and PHOTOGRAPH THE CLOTHING LABEL for LABEL WHORE.
Of course 'vintage' gets the AWESOMENESS, but designer or regular labels on clothing will do fine, too.
This group is to HIGHLIGHT the clothing LABEL only, and NOT the article of clothing. So, no full clothing shots, and none with people in the clothes , no matter how hella cool you look in it.
It is a PUBLIC GROUP , so keep it SAFE for EVERYONE. (Hey, budding clothing designers start young, you know.)
And, even the group is called LABEL WHORE, yes, that is an edgy term but really, it's a term everyone uses. After all, it's in the dictionary, well, ok, not the everyday dictionary that schools use, but it is in MY dictionary.
NO BULLYING, NO RUDENESS, and NO TRASH TALK on photo comments in the group...
Cleverness counts. And oh my, finding that gem like 'STRAIGHT BOTTOM' label...well, I have to tell you. I almost passed out when I saw that label on a shirt. Really, like I mean, passed out cold right there in the thrift store. (Can you imagine? Hello 911, we have a LABEL WHORE who fainted over the sight of an original Giorgio Armani label here at G.W.! So, like, if that ever happened to you, then this is YOUR group...you LABEL WHORE!)
Absolutely NO photos that would be deemed inappropriate for a large audience...THESE ARE PHOTOS OF CLOTHING LABELS ONLY...got it?, Ok...now have fun, and enjoy...YOU LABEL WHORE, YOU.

I made name labels for the kids' things using this project:

I didn't iron the raw edges under on the labels I sewed on, and then I zig-zag stitched, and some of the edges frayed right out of the thread with the first wash. I think this problem wouldn't present itself if I had ironed. I just totally forgot that step.
