Step 3Make them into tags
Once your ribbon is dry, grab some good fabric scissors and cut into lengths. These tags are folded over and the cut end is sewn into a seam. Make sure you cut enough room to fold your label in half!
Grab an iron and make that fold nice and crisp, and tada! You've got a whole pile of hand-made, custom colored tags!
Time to sew! I decided to use the grossgrain ribbon because the edges will not unravel. If you'd rather use fabric, you can use zigzag scissors or liquid thread to keep the edges from fraying, or just fold them over and sew them down. The ribbon will spare you this step.
If you are serging a seam, stick the tag into your fabric with the cut ends on the garbage-side of your blade. If you are using a home sewing machine, just fold the cut ends inside and sew them together into a seam. And if you are taping the edge, just sew the tape over the cut ends.
Happy tagging!
