Lets make them even more vintage and worn with a little distress ink. I cut around the label so I could distress the edges. You don’t have to cut into the label just around the outside. And mine definitely were not perfect.
Then just rub the label edges onto your ink pad.
Set aside to dry and start on your next one.
Want an even more distressed look? Try tearing away the sides of your label before you distress.
After your ink dries, it is just a matter of peeling and sticking to your jars and bottles.
What do you think? Could I fool the standard observer into thinking these are truly vintage bottles? I think so!
