Apparently, I'm the only old school person around here (on FB). lol!!</p> <p>@JennyPenny: Do they (really) small letters? Like maybe less than a 10 font? I have terrible handwriting and there's a lot of letters so definitely no handwriting for moi.</p> <p>@Foodnerd81: I've used embossing ink for my wedding thank you letters as well, but might not work for this project given the complex sentences I need.</p> <p>@Foodnerd81: @mrswin: @Mrs. Lemon-Lime: I'm only making a Gold ones, and I'm writing on there what they're the winner of. We're having multiple baby shower games so one would say "winner of baby jeopardy". Another would say "winner of baby price is right", etc. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/craft-project-help-please#post-1760444 Tue, 15 Jul 2014 14:39:20 +0000 immabeetoo 1760444@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>like this: <a href="http://s3.amazonaws.com/cooltools_legacy/archives/hobbyist.web.gif" rel="nofollow">http://s3.amazonaws.com/cooltools_legacy/archives/hobbyist.web.gif</a> </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/craft-project-help-please#post-1760443 Tue, 15 Jul 2014 14:38:47 +0000 Mrs. Lemon-Lime 1760443@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>What exactly will you write on the bottles or bases? The colors gold silver and bronze already signal who came in first second or third. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/craft-project-help-please#post-1760438 Tue, 15 Jul 2014 14:37:24 +0000 Foodnerd81 1760438@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I used a stamp and embossing powder/embossing gun for my wedding invitations- you stamp with a special ink pad, sprinkle special powder over it, and heat it and the powder melts and makes a nice raised design. But that would be awfully labor intensive on a bottle. What kind of lettering do you want, exactly? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/craft-project-help-please#post-1760437 Tue, 15 Jul 2014 14:37:16 +0000 Mrs. Lemon-Lime 1760437@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Puffy paint. I think that's what it's called. I bought some in metals to DIY ornaments. They came in a small squeeze bottle. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/craft-project-help-please#post-1760436 Tue, 15 Jul 2014 14:37:00 +0000 JennyPenny 1760436@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I like @Mamaof2's suggestion. You could probably do it right on the bottle if you want. Or maybe find some puffy letter stickers if you don't trust your own handwriting. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/craft-project-help-please#post-1760435 Tue, 15 Jul 2014 14:36:57 +0000 immabeetoo 1760435@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>remember those old school dial label makers? those were raised..

Everyone that has a label maker says their's prints out flat lettering. </p> <p>What's an alternative to a label maker for raised lettering? I don't want to buy one just for a quick lil project.</p> <p>The project I'm doing is re-creating these bottles below as a prize for a baby shower. I wanted to put the raised lettering on the bottle before spray painting them so that the lettering kind of blends in with the bottle. Suggestions on where I can get the wooden base would be great too! Thanks!! </p> [attach=303/14/n8rq9b.399x600.Bottle-Trophy.png]
