French Perfume Label ~ project & printable

I've been thinking up ideas
for Christmas projects. After
sharing one of my ideas,
Mom offered a simple glass
canister she didn't use anymore...


 First, I designed a label using
images from The Graphics Fairy.
  
 
I printed my labels onto
cardstock & cut them out. 

Next, I used slightly watered down
white glue to make an imperfect outline
of the beautiful scrolling border,
and dusted with gold glitter.

Using the same glue (you could
use Mod podge - whatever you like)
I centered and glued the label
onto the clean canister. 

I then used clear acrylic sealer
over the label, to protect it
from water damage, etc.


 Originally the lid had
large, rusty star and wooden
spool on top. All I had to do was take
out the screw that held them in
place and replace with a metal pull.


It looks so pretty used as a vase. Would also
be great filled and given as a gift.

Please enjoy, free for personal use ~ thanks
