DIY Water Bottle Labels - worried about smudging? UPDATED w/ PICS
Hi Ladies,
If any of you did your own bottle labels, how did they hold up? I know many people do them on plain paper or sticker paper, but I am worried about the ink smudging when they get wet.
I do have the website that sells the waterproof labels. I just wanted to see if anyone had tips or tricks to share using regular paper, before I order!
TIA!!
Meg
UPDATE
I printed my test labels on regular paper, one sheet on an inkjet printer and an identical sheet with a laser printer. I put one label of each on a bottle at room temperature and put it in the fridge overnight. This morning I set them out on the counter and waited to see what would happen. Neither bottle seemed to "sweat" so both bottles looked great. I then put them in the freezer an hour and took them out to come to room temp. Same results..no sweating no smudging. My last attempt to "smudge" the ink was to put each bottle in an ice-bath about half way up the bottles. They have been sitting on the counter for a few hours and still look perfect! I guess as long as the labels do not physically touch water they should be ok! Hope this helps anyone else who was concerned the ink would run or smudge!

Re: DIY Water Bottle Labels - worried about smudging? UPDATED w/ PICS
we are putting them in a bucket with ice and water since our ceremony is outside so I am going to laminate the labels and then put them on!
