Design your own labels

Beautiful labels for delicious homemade jam

The late summer season sees an abundance of damsons, plums, pears and apples. By preserving these sweet fruits as jam, jelly or apple purée, you can continue to enjoy them throughout the winter and bring back summertime memories. Home-made preserves like jam, jelly and chutney also make a great gift for a party host.

To help you keep track of your preserves, why not make your own labels for jars and bottles; the edding 1200 fibre pen is ideal for this and is available in 20 vibrant shades. You can add colourful embellishments such as dainty trailing flowers or you may wish to simply write in clear block lettering – just let your imagination guide you.

Step-by-step

Step 1

Copy the template onto light-coloured card, then cut out the label shapes. Colour in the flower garlands and decorations. With its fine nib (approx. 1 mm), the edding 1200 colour pen is ideal for drawing delicate and precise patterns. We recommend you try out the lettering beforehand on a separate sheet of paper to see which style of writing you like best.
