This is my favorite DIY recipe so far. I liked it so much I made a label for it. I used Avery white shipping labels, 2"x4" inch. Downloaded a template, set my layout in the center of a label, printed, then cut to color. I even placed some clear packing tape over the graphic before I cut it out to act as a laminate. The possibilities are endless. lol.

The look and feel of the label is somewhat a copy of a brand I seen in a vape shop. I cant remember what they where called though.

I was writing on small post it notes and taping them to my bottles. This is much more fun. It also saves a copy of the recipe on my computer, and is easily edited. I just made a few small changes. I also signed up for an imgur account so I could link larger photos.

Very nice Jimmy! And listing ingredients and % is a great idea (wish commercial e-liquid manufacturers did the same lol)
 
Both Microsoft Word and Libre Office Writer (free multi-platform alternative) have built-in capabilities for printing to most Avery label types, and a few others as well. You can insert graphics and format text like with any other word processing document. A little trial and error may be required to get it right.

I am officially jealous.
Mine are plain white with black text.
But they hold up through 130 or so degrees in the UC and they peal off with virtually no glue left on the bottle.

You can also try spraying the label with some clear or matte polyurethane spray (just use a can of Krylon from WalMart or wherever)

Spray it before you peel the label from the sheet after it comes off your printer and let dry before peeling it off and applying

never used avery labels yet but i did look through their templates and found nothing even close to that
what am i doing wrong

The template just shows me where to place my graphic so that it's in the middle of the Avery decal when it comes out of the printer. The artwork you see is all stuff I made in photoshop from scratch.
