Sure thing! Here's the full process:
To prepare the champagne bottles I soaked them in a dish tub with a scoop of oxyclean and room temperature water for about 30-40 minutes. The oxyclean is REALLY helpful in getting the labels to slide off, but be careful not to get it near the top/under the foil. Then I rinsed them under cold water and used the scrubby side of a sponge to get off any remaining adhesive. I let them air dry on my countertop.
To make the labels, I used 3.5'' x 2.125'' weatherproof laser labels. This takes a few steps- first I had to print the dots on to the label in solid black toner, then run them through a laminator with the minc foil transfer sheets (link is to amazon, but I got them at Michael's with a 50% off coupon). Then I had to print the text on to them. I used fonts that I downloaded online.
Then, I just applied the labels to the bottles, tied a paper straw to each, and voila!
Toner is the ink used in laser printer. It will not work on regular inkjet! You can use any laser printer, does not have to be anything special (library printers are generally laser printers && black/white printing is cheap) -- what you want to make sure is that the settings for printing is set to TEXT (no grey areas, must be solid black prints) for the foiling to work perfectly.
You will also need foil paper, such as this foil via Amazon!
Hope this help, let me know if you have any questions :)
