To make it easy to attach your labels to bags or other items, drill a small hole in each label. Place the Dremel Multi-Tool in the Dremel Workstation for stability and precision. Drill a hole near the top of each label, making sure it's large enough for a string or ribbon.

Sand the Edges

Smooth out any rough edges or surfaces using sandpaper. This will give your labels a polished look and make them safer to handle.

Step58

Paint and Decorate
