Vintage Look Bottles

I love the look of antique and vintage look bottles.  I have been a big fan of the Graphics Fairy for over a year now, and make many projects with her free graphics.  I especially love using the perfume and cosmetic themed graphics.  It's very easy to do- just print out the graphic that you like on your printer, and resize it to the appropriate size for your bottle and cut it out.  I use Mod Podge to glue my graphics onto my bottles.  Sometimes the ink runs if you put Mod Podge on the front of the graphic, so I spray with an acylic spray fixative/sealer in a flat finish first, if I want to protect the label.  You can decorate with ribbon or raffia as well.  That's it- quick and easy.
Here's a selection that I did in just one afternoon.  All but two of the graphics are from the Graphics Fairy.  See the link to Graphics Fairy on the right sidebar.

I use them in this cute cabinet in my bathroom.


The photo in the top left is another graphic I printed from a website- sorry , I can't remember which one. 


I made my own custom liquid soap dispenser too, with an old plastic pump bottle and a Graphics Fairy label. 


Here's another cute old fashioned milk bottle with another Graphics Fairy Label.

Hope you enjoyed seeing this quick and easy project.

Au Revoir!!!!!!

  2. Those look fantastic....I think I might have to try something like that to cover up some plain spray bottles. What a great idea.
