Water Bottle Labels — Breaking the No More DIY Rule
August 29th, 2006 @ 10:30 am by Mrs. Caterpillar
I am just a sucker for random projects. Accordingly, I broke my No More DIY rule, and started some water bottle labels. I did them in pink and brown because that was the easiest way to make cheap paper look not so cheap. Ha.
Half the label is a monogram of sorts; the other half is a piece of a love poem from Nizar Qadah. I wanted to give guests something to read, i.e. distract them, while waiting in the blazing sun for the ceremony to start.

Very nice.
Quick question: Where did you get water bottles without pre-existing labels on them already?
what’s the poem say?
Kate — I just peeled the labels off. It didn’t take very long. Then I centered the new label over the glue marks left by the old one. Because I used a card stock, you can’t see anything of the old label at all.
Milka — I put a series of poems on. My favorite, though, is
I do not resemble your other lovers, my lady
should another give you a cloud
I give you rain
Should he give you a lantern, I
will give you the m o o n
Should he give you a branch
I will give you the trees
And if another gives you a ship
I shall give you the journey.
I would love to get a copy of this template…is that possible?
Thanks!

I was wondering if the template was still available. If it is, can you email it to me? I would rather DIM than pay a few hundred dollars for something I’m not completely happy with. Or if there is a website you know of that will let me download a template, that would be just as great. Thanks for you help.

About Me: I don't like Jeff Koons, mushy corn, or the unnecessary diacritical marks the New Yorker adds to words like cooperative. Also, I'm an obsessive compulsive when it comes to crafts. And not just the ordinary kind of obsessive compulsive who needs to have everything even and aligned. No. I've gilded the heads of pins to make sure they looked properly antique. Gilded them. Then coated them in german glass glitter. I am that crazy.
