How to make your own beer labels?

Can anyone tell me how to make my own beer labels? More specifically what type of labels, size and where to purchase them.|||I make my beer labels with an inkjet printer on Epson high DPI paper. I attach them with a glue stick. Much better and cheaper than what you can buy. The combination doesn't run when it gets wet and the label slides right off after briefly soaking in warm water.





You can get the paper at places like Office Depot, Staples, etc.|||You can use either a graphics program or a word processing program to prepare the labels. Print them on bond paper or on prepared label stock. I glue the labels to the bottles with milk. The labels can be peeled off after you wet them thoroughly. If you want to buy label stock, go to a large stationary or computer store.|||There are beer making stores online, like http://www.homebrewit.com that specifically sell labels that you can customize to put on your own homemade beer. It's already pre-designed and sized for beer bottles and some come with nice graphics already on them. You can see specific labels here: http://www.homebrewit.com/aisle/1180. They're at a good price too depending on which kind you want.





Otherwise, if you're looking for something a little fancier, there are label creating programs you can buy to customize your label even more.
