Printable Belly Bands for Your Handmade Creations

Watercolour Belly Bands

If you love giving or selling handmade crochet or knitted items, you’ll know just how much presentation matters. A simple wrap or label can completely transform your project — turning it from a lovely make into a beautiful handmade gift or a professional-looking item ready for your craft stall or Etsy shop.

That’s exactly why I designed these printable belly bands — the perfect finishing touch for your dishcloths, hats, gloves, scarves, tea towels, and other small handmade items.

Free Belly Bands

If you love these printable belly bands, you’ll be happy to know you can also get some of my older label designs completely free. I’ll share how to grab them a little further down in the post, so keep reading for a free little treat for your handmade creations!

Get the New Labels!

You can now grab all four printable belly band sets directly from my Etsy shop. They’re available as instant downloads, so you can start printing and wrapping your creations straight away. Each set includes two sizes designed with dishcloths in mind and some of the designs also come with handmade with love versions, perfect for a variety of projects.

Four Beautiful Sets to Choose From

There are four different sets available, each with its own unique style and charm. Whether you prefer something classic and simple or bright and cheerful, there’s a set to suit every maker’s taste.

Each set includes 3 designs in two sizes, so you can choose the best fit for your projects. The smaller size works perfectly for smaller items like dishcloths, while the larger size is great for slightly larger  makes like hats and scarves or bundling dishcloths together.

Retro Belly Bands

Designed with Makers in Mind

These labels were created especially for crocheted and knitted dishcloths, but some of the designs include more general “Handmade with Love” logos — ideal for wrapping around other small handmade creations too, such as hats, gloves, or tea towels.

They’re easy to print at home and give your finished items that extra special, professional touch.

Watercolour Belly Bands

Perfect for Handmade Gifts

If you enjoy gifting your crochet or knitted items, these printable belly bands make your presents look extra thoughtful. Imagine giving a stack of colourful dishcloths, a cosy handmade scarf, or a set of matching gloves tied with twine and wrapped in a pretty label — it’s such a simple touch, but it makes all the difference.

They’re also great for holiday and seasonal gifts — pair the festive labels with Christmas-coloured yarns, or use the watercolour or classic designs for year-round gifting.

Classic Belly Bands

Ideal for Small Business Makers

If you sell your handmade items, these belly bands help give your products a cohesive, professional look. They’re perfect for craft fairs, market stalls, or packaging your items for online orders.

For printing, you can use either white paper for a crisp, clean look, or kraft paper for a warm, rustic, vintage feel. Both options give your labels a high-quality finish and allow the designs to really stand out.

And the best part? Once you download them, they’re yours to print and use again and again — making them a cost-effective way to elevate your handmade goods.

Print, Wrap, and You’re Ready to Go

All you need is a printer and some thick paper (120–150gsm) for a sturdy, high-quality finish. Print as many as you like, trim to size, and wrap around your finished makes — it’s that simple!

Whether you’re preparing for a craft fair, packaging Christmas gifts, or just want your handmade items to look extra special, these printable wraps are the perfect finishing touch.
