DIY Vintage Label for Jars
How To Make DIY Vintage Label for Jars– Quick overview
Today I’m sharing these beautiful DIY Vintage Jar Labels! And showing you how to create your own DIY vintage labels in a few minutes with scrapbook papers and stamps. If you love vintage labels or anything vintage, this DIY project is definitely for you.
- Gather your materials. Stamps, labels, mason jars or bottles or any glass container, Mod podge, scissors, etc. For this tutorial, I will be using scrapbook paper vintage labels I got from Bo Bunny You can buy, download and print any vintage labels available online. But I love this one and do recommend it.
- Cut out various labels from the Bo Bunny papers Once you have your labels, cut out as many as you want with a scissors or hole punch.
- Gather your jars and bottles, wash them if you must. Some of mine were vintage but others were from pickles, pimentos, or anything else we were eating out of glass containers.
- Add a distressed look. To create an authentic aged look, you can distress the edges of the label by cutting around the edges of the labels. Or you can try tearing the edges off the label for a natural torn and realistic look. Also, although the labels already have a vintage look, you can make them look even more worn with a little Distress Ink.
- Attach the labels to the jars. You can attach the labels to the bottles using mod podge. Apply the mod podge to the back of your DIY label and attach it to the jar.

Vintage Scrapbook Paper Labels
I got my vintage scrapbook paper from Weekend Market Collection by Bo Bunny. You can get your labels with my link or anywhere online, or you can simply download printables and use them. But I really love these ones.
The labels came out of sheets like the following one. It is absolutely swoon-worthy.
But before we make labels, just look at a few more sheets of paper in the collection. They can be used for crafts, scrapbooking, tags, or anything you imagine and come up with!
This one with the rulers had my heart racing! Gorgeous! I can see an entire tabletop with these sheets of paper mod podge to it. You can actually see what I did with this sheet here.
How To Make Decoupaged Vintage Jars with Vintage Labels
Step 1:
Cut out various labels from the Bo Bunny papers.
Step 2:
Gather your jars and bottles. Some of mine were vintage but others were from pickles, pimentos, or anything else we were eating out of glass containers.
Step 3:
Just apply mod podge to the back of your DIY label and adhere it to the jar.
Some of the labels were blank, so I added words with my letter stamps.
Or just my initial on a mini label.
Other ones just needed to be put on the jars as is.
There is such a wide variety of labels on the papers that it was easy to fill an entire shelf with goodies.
This project is truly trash to treasure and super easy.
All of the jars found a home on the top shelf of this vintage cabinet. Of course, they do not all have to be grouped together, but they do make a nice statement in my foyer.

Ok is it just me. I do not see the link to print?
These are NOT printable. It is scrapbook paper that you have to purchase.
Oooops. Sorry for the misunderstanding. Was looking for printable labels.
No problem! These are a different style but I have a few printable versions:

Love the vintage look. Just a share. In the past I have used a paper towel dipped in whole milk, wipe on back of a plain paper print out like these, laid it on various glass canning jars. When I get tired of the look or it no longer serves my purpose, the label cleans off easily under running warm water, or in the dishwasher, My labels, printed on inkjet, copy paper, adhere to glass and aluminum tea canisters perfectly, no ink smear. Just easier to change labels out for me.
Thank you for the vintage labels, love them.
