label glue

This sounds like a really dumb question, but I need some input! I made up some labels for my candles but can't find the background I want in readymade labels. So, if I just made them and wanted to glue them on the jars, what kind of glue could I use? Maybe it doesn't matter, but I wouldn't want them to burn up or turn color. Thanks for all the help. Love the new format on the forum! Beth

I've been using a glue stick to paste my labels onto my glass jars. It's been working okay, though I'm sure there are many other good ways to do this.

There is a spray at walmart that has 77 in the name. It is like spray77 or something like that. This would permanently adhere the label, so you couldnt use it on a pillar, but if you just need to glue to a container this stuff is awesome. HTH

Maybe another idea would be to use a clear label - a little larger - over your colored one. I do this with my lip balms and it works great.

Thanks all. I had glues that would hold it to the glass containers, but was worried about the jar getting hot. So it probably doesn't matter because the jar probably doesn't get that hot anyway. I'll test some just like the wicks! Thanks again! Beth

the Kraft bond glue stick..it's blue with an orange top. Works great. Then I got lazy and started getting self stick labels! LOL

I was going to suggest that too (the clear label). I found a place today that has glass decals for a very good price-- I think $7 for 10 sheets, white or clear or a mix of both.

I will look for it.

Well, I know what you mean...I may go with the natural tan colored kraft circles and rectangles. I am not real keen on the extra work of gluing! I had for a background, light-weight cardstock to make hang tags with and it has flecks in it and looks really nice. So I thought labels to match...but may have to change the hang tags. Maybe if I add a bit of glitter like they use in stamping I could make my own flecks? Talk about another step! LOL. Thanks again for all the ideas. It is so nice to be able to get input from people that are making candles! Beth
