This is a nice addition to go with the Galactic Moon Goop Slime we created earlier! It uses a simple technique for label making that can be applied to all sorts of crafts (adding photos to candle jars, labels to kitchen containers, etc.).
Step one is to simply print the design you want to use as a label on plain printer paper. Anything left WHITE on your label will be removed in this process, so make sure the page surrounding your design is blank. Our Moon Goop design is located HERE, if you would like to print it out!
Cut out the label design. You can leave a bit of a white border, but you don't want too much excess paper around the design you plan to use. Once it is cut out, place a piece of clear tape (such as book tape or packing tape) over the design- sticky side against printed side. Rub a credit card, fingernail, paperclip, or other solid object over the tape to press the paper against the tape with no bubbles.
Once the paper is secured behind the tape, place it into a bowl of warm water, making sure the paper is fully submerged.
Let the label soak for 5-10 minutes.
Gently rub the paper side of your label while it is still underwater to remove the paper residue. If it does not roll off easily, let the label soak a while longer.
Once all of the paper is removed, set the label aside (sticky side up) to dry. You can blot it gently with a paper towel, or allow it to air dry. Air drying is safest, as it avoids the risk of removing your adhesive.
Once the Label is dry, simply stick it to whatever you want! Ours was used for test tubes to hold slime, but the possibilities for this technique are endless!
