A practical FAQ on using Made by Grandma rainbow woven labels for grandchildren's handmade gifts, including placement, washing, and keepsake ideas.
Quick answer
Sew Made by Grandma rainbow woven labels into handmade gifts for grandchildren on a seam or hem that stays soft against skin, then wash and dry the finished item as usual—these labels are fully washable and dryer-safe.
Why rainbow labels work for grandchildren's gifts
Rainbow tones add a playful, personal touch that children recognize as theirs, while the woven 'Made by Grandma' message turns an everyday handmade item into a keepsake. Because the labels are soft and never scratchy, they suit items worn close to the skin, such as clothing and blankets, without causing irritation.
Placement exceptions to consider
Avoid sewing the label directly over a thick seam or in an area that rubs against a car seat strap or backpack, as the added bulk may feel uncomfortable. For items that will be washed frequently, such as bibs or loveys, place the label on an outer seam or hem rather than an interior edge to reduce wear.
Common questions about Made by Grandma rainbow labels
- Where should I sew the label on a baby blanket?
- Place it on a corner seam or along the binding on the back side, so the soft woven label sits flat against the blanket and not against the baby's skin. Stitch around all four edges with a small zigzag or straight stitch.
- Can the label go through the washer and dryer?
- Yes. The labels are fully washable and can handle dryer heat, so you can launder the finished item according to its fabric care instructions without removing the label. Always test a small corner of the label with your machine's hottest dryer setting if you are unsure.
- Will the label scratch a child's skin?
- The woven labels are soft to the touch and never scratchy, so they are suitable for items worn next to the skin. If the child is sensitive, sew the label on an outer hem or seam instead of an interior edge.
- How many labels come in a pack?
- Each pack contains 8 labels, enough to label several small gifts or a few larger projects.
- Are these labels safe for babies and toddlers?
- They are OEKO-TEX Standard 100 certified, meaning they have been tested for harmful substances. As with any small attachment, sew securely and check periodically for loose threads. Avoid using the label on items that will go in a child's mouth, such as teethers, unless the label is removed first.
- Can I use these labels for non-clothing keepsakes?
- Yes. The labels work well on quilts, stuffed animals, tote bags, and shadow-box keepsakes. For items that won't be washed, simply sew the label in a visible spot where it can be seen and appreciated.
