It's an old trick for making vinyl signs repositionable. Use dish soap, watered down a bit and lather it on the surface before applying the sticker/vinyl. When it dries, it gets into the adhesive making it less permanent, but sticky enough to remove and restick (and soaking re-soapys the soap) My labels are printed on a laser printer, so they'll be waterfast/the ink shouldn't run.No harm no foul. As I recall; Hot water, oxy clean, a razor blade, a green scotch pad, and some elbow grease will get em right off.....
Never heard of the soap trip but sounds promising. I may give that a try sometime. Once I started using gelatin, I’ve never looked back, but it couldn’t hurt to have multiple weapons in the arsenal.
Next time I'll try that, and let you know how I get on.

Here is my simple attempt.
Not finished yet, but it's the first label I've created completely from scratch (aside from the Phillies and Jetro logos). Super proud of how it's turning out so far. It's my tribute to my favorite tailgating lot as I get prepared for Spring Training and baseball season in general. Started out as a pencil drawing, then I used a wet-erase marker on a transparency sheet to get the solid black lines.

I love this so much, and love the memories behind it! I need to get my annual baseball beer brewed!

These are fantastically beautiful! I really like the 2nd, 3rd, and 4th ones. The jelly one is incredible!

Thank you. I will hopefully post pictures with the labels on the bottles, once I get around to it. Cheers.

Really like the logo! I was betting that was going to be called “The demon within”

Thanks brother. It was a good one. I think I’m going to drop it to 10% but run the base with sone different hop combos.

EXACTLY, that's the level I want to get to
At this point I can only dream.

It's 9 am & it looks delicious enough to want to drink now. Please share recipe. Love the colour.
I like #3 the best, wait, #2, wait, crap, all look cool. I like the simple style of them. How did you achieve the "break out's" or "blow out's", is it a plug in or something like that?. I guess I should ask what software you use first. Again, nice simple design.

First labels I've done in years; didn't want to send out plain bottles for FOTHB. Could definitely use some polish if I was using them on more than literally just a couple bottles, but anyway...
The dog is my little girl, the tree is from the farm where the yeast was captured, and the other 2 are song/album references.

I’ve been learning how to use Gimp but these designs I grab online and then messed around on Canva.com
Makes it really easy to pass the time until my beers condition lol
I have used Gimp for some things and checked out Canva. Looks like it's a nice online editor. Didn't spend much time there but might in the future. I'm going to try to replicate that (the blow out) with Paint.NET if I can, I have a few ideas how to try. Thanks for reply.

Very nice art work...but the blue text on orange is very difficult to read.. Just my two cents..
I don't find it difficult to read, but that might be because I am colorblind. The blue really pops against the orange. I am not a good representation though lol.
