Is there a way to make a label show in every window for tkinter without having to write out every single line of code over and over

I am wondering if there is a way, in tkinter or using any other python module, to make it so you keep a label or any other element in every window made by just using something like a function that makes the label within the window? I've tried this:

#Modules
import tkinter as tkin

#The initializer window
class Test:
  def __init__(self):
    #Initializes the main window
    self.start = tkin.Tk()
    self.start.title('Test')
    self.label_thing()

  #Makes a label
  def label_thing(self):
    self.label1 = tkin.Label(text='Not Button')
    self.label1.pack()

I don't know if I made any errors or if this isn't a thing you can do but I'd also like to refrain from having the label localized to this window and having to remake the code for every window.

Let us assume you have a button that creates windows, you would pass this window as an argument to the function that creates the label, so like:

import tkinter as tk # Fixed weird import naming

class Test:
    def __init__(self):
        self.start = tk.Tk()
        self.start.title('Test')

        self.label_thing(self.start) # Label on the main window
        
        tk.Button(self.start,text='Click me',command=self.create_win).pack()
        
        self.start.mainloop()

    def label_thing(self, master):
        self.label1 = tk.Label(master, text='Not Button')
        self.label1.pack()

    def create_win(self):
        new = tk.Toplevel()
        self.label_thing(new) # Label on the new window
    
if __name__ == '__main__':
    Test()

As you can see, as long as you press the button, new windows are created, and all those windows have the label on them, dynamically.
