Tag tutorial with iron on paper. This is one of the FAQ questions. People always ask this. I just had to make a tutorial on it
You may ask questions if you have difficulty understanding the tutorial and the caveman language I used(by accident).
Hope this helps!
Tutorial made by me.

haha xDD i just did and i was glad i did it right, oh and i tried to iron it on the ribbon but only half of the stuff got on and the other half is still on the paper..

Try to leave the iron on for more time and at high. I usually just leave it on top of the ribbon for 30 seconds and let it cool.

You have to buy the paper to know.
They last for a long time. I can't tell you exactly though.
These tags don't dye.

Iron paper.
The ribbon on top of the paper faced down.

Does it matter what kind of ribbon you use? Are the labels waterproof?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Yes they are and the best one that works is ribbons with ridges, not silk.

Do you know the name for the ribbons with ridges? XD
👍: 0 ⏩: 2
The ribbon design is usually referred to as grosgrain and can be found at any WalMart.

Awesome tut! How does it work on not-grosgrain ribbon? Like the satin kind?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
The satin kind...Well it kinda works out bad even if you have your iron on low. The ribbon will wrinkle up and burn. Thanks!
