Project Labels

[wawa]

Do you put "handmade by...." type labels on your crafted soft goods?  (crochet/knit/sewn - clothes, blankets, hats, etc)

what do they look like and do you like them and if so, where'd you get them? 
there are TOO MANY OPTIONS out there.  But my IL's have requested a label to put on the blanket I crocheted for them, and it'd be nice to put something on the things I gift generally.  

I like the look of those foldover leather ones, but I want it to be washable?  And it'd be nice if it were somethng I could put on a baby blanket without worrying about it.  So I think just the plain cloth ones would be best?  I dunno.  Help me narrow it down a bit pls.

I’ve gotten ones made from Etsy that just say Made by (my name). They can iron on and then I usually tack them down as well. I will also Sharpie on the year sometimes. They are super tiny though. Like 1x1.5”.

They have fake leather washable ones!

I'm cheap and boring so I bought a panel of cloth labels and I hand-embroider something inside the label frame like, "Made with love by Michelle [last name] [year]." I use an erasable pen to write it out and then just embroider over it. It looks SUPER handmade that way. No mistaking it is store-bought, haha!

this feels like such a humble brag.  I'm cheap and boring so I HAND MAKE MY LABELS.  
LOL.  

I got some off etsy that seemed easy and simple.  I have yet to apply them to a project, but I think they'll work.

I didn't mean it that way. I actually meant "super handmade" in a self-deprecating way. Like, by a 5 year old.

I'm comparing myself to my mom who custom-prints a label for every quilt she makes. But one thing I love about hers is they have the year on them. I like that, and don't make enough handmade stuff to justify purchasing some of the pre-printed labels from etsy.  Here is one where i didn't put the year. Definitely NOT a humble brag:
