Design and print on your computer. Take them to a copier place to make copies. Cut them out and use milk as an adhesive.

Rubber cement also works well and can be peeled off. Here are some labels I've made from images on the internet and printed out: (Tipsy Quaker was an oatmeal stout, SSOS and B52 were referenced in the classic internet recipes thread, and the bohemian pilsener should be self-explanatory)

If you've got a color laser printer at work, print on that, the ink wont run. Not that I would ever use work resources like that. Once they're cut out, I like to use 3M spray adhesive, available at any hardware store, looks like spray paint. Just a light mist of it will make it stick pretty well. Don't spray too much, it can get soggy and slippery and leave a residue.

On the occasions that I bottle, I like to make my own labels using a few different software programs (photoshop, word, etc...) to get my desired effect and then I upload the files to Kinkos.com for printing. A sheet of labels is only 59 cents (3-4 labels per sheet, roughly $10 for a full batch). Just cut out the labels and then paste them onto the bottles with a cheap glue stick.

Forget the milk. use a gluestick.The only problem is they do come off when they get wet. So throwing a few in a cooler with melting ice will give you a new guessing game to play at the picnic.

Are your labels going to be for art or for identification?If just for identification, what I do is get 1 inch round label stickers (you can get them at an office supply store), and either run them through the printer and print a simple ID, or just write on the sticker, and place it on the cap. This makes it really easy to identify the beer, and when you are done with it, you don't have to worry about removing any labels from the glass again.If you are doing labels for art, completely disregard my comment.

I make my labels 2.50"x3.33" so that 9 of them will fit on a 7.5"x10" section. That lets me print out 9 at a time, leaving a 1/2" margin all the way around.
