Vintage Canned Goods Labels

Is there anything old that I don't love? No, there doesn't seem to be.

I searched for some vintage canned goods labels, resized them, printed them, and then Mod Podged them to tin cans.

They're just sitting there looking fabulous but I'll be using them for plants when I've found some that won't poison my cats, and which I won't kill easily.

If you'd like these prints, leave me a comment with your email address and I'll send you the files, which are Word documents.

Label Your Toiletries To Match

I care a little bit more about packaging than I should. I will buy something mediocre if the packaging is fabulous.  I should work in the packaging industry.

Anyway, I have been wanting to label my toiletries to match ever since I saw a medicine cabinet organization post on Martha Stewart's website. Yes, I am in awe of Martha's attention to detail, I admit it.

So I designed some pretty labels and printed them out on white tissue paper. I simply wrapped a regular sheet of copier paper in tissue, carefully taped it down and fed it through the ink jet printer.  

I removed the labels from white plastic bottles that I washed out and have been saving for this day, then cut out the new labels and carefully glued them down with Mod Podge, and coated the surface with another application of the Mod Podge so that they are water resistant.

All my bottles match! Heaven!
