I’m really getting into my Christmas in July series – probably because it was so insanely hot this week that snow sound pretty good right about now. No wait! Just kidding! I’m afraid that the Chicago “weather fairy” would actually grant that wish. We only get a tiny bit of hot weather every year – I’ll take it!!

Anyway, here’s the latest addition to the vintage printables category – free printable vintage Christmas postcards! These are awesome for holiday crafts – I’m thinking of ways to use them already.

Vintage Paper Crafts: 4th of July Rosettes

Wendy Piersall — Tue, 15 Jun 2010 23:16:28 +0000

I’ve been a little obsessed with vintage stuff lately. I have a pretty awesome collection of vintage figurines, plates, and kitchenware. As the 4th of July approaches, I’ve been finding really adorable old patriotic decorations on Ebay and Etsy. Since I’m good about sticking to my ‘vintage collection budget’, I decided to come up with a way to make my own vintage 4th of July decorations.

Vintage Paper Crafts for the 4th of July

These paper crafts are super-easy to make. If you are glitter-adverse like I was when my kids were younger (it’s still in my couch cushions!!!) then omit the glitter and simply paint the paper with red and blue water colors.

What You Need for these Vintage Paper Crafts

You might even already have everything you need at home. If not, head out to your local dollar store to get the rest!

4th of July Paper Rosettes Materials

Round coffee filters

8 inch doilies

Glitter

Glue

Ribbon

Water based paints (watercolors or acrylics)

Optional – spray adhesive

How to Make These Vintage Paper Rosettes

Print and cut out one or more of the vintage art printables above.

To make sure they are the correct size, be sure to tell your printer to print at 100%. Most printers will ‘shrink to fit’ the images – that will still work, but they will be smaller.

Put a small line of glue around the edge and dust glitter on it.

: Gold Glitter on Vintage Printable

Paint one coffee filter in red or blue. The center is covered so you can leave that part dry if you want.

Let it dry. (Or use a blow dryer if you are impatient like me!)

Painting Coffee Filters

Put a small line of glue around the edge and dust a different color of glitter on it.

Glitter on Coffee Filter Edges

Cut a 12-14 inch piece of ribbon and fold it in a V. Glue it on the bottom of the coffee filter.

Rosette Ribbon Attachment

Either use spray adhesive or paint glue onto the doily. Dust glitter around the edges – you can again avoid the middle to save glitter and time.

Glitter on Doily Layer

Once everything is dry, you can star sandwiching the layers together with glue:

Gluing Vintage Paper Crafts

Put the coffee filter with ribbon on the bottom, next the doily, and finally the vintage artwork on top. And you’re done!

Variations

You can print out the vintage artwork at a smaller size and use cupcake liners instead of coffee filters. Just make sure to also buy smaller doilies!

One of my very first posts on CraftJr. was a set of printable bubble letters – and ever since then I’ve been getting requests for a set of printable lowercase bubble letters. Yeah, it only took me a year to get around to it. Because that’s how I roll!!! And now my life is complete – because I also just added bubble numbers and punctuation, too!

Wedding Favors & Valentine’s Day Heart Gift Box Cones

Wendy Piersall — Mon, 01 Feb 2010 13:26:38 +0000

To celebrate the season of love, I created a favor cone with a heart shape on top. It’s great for wedding shower favor boxes, or alternatively would be equally awesome to house Valentine’s Day treats.

The print on the paper in the photo was some leftover scrapbooking paper I had laying around. You can print the box template on the back of any printed/plain/colored paper to make your favor cones look however you want. They are super simple to assemble, but I do highly recommend scoring the folds before you start, because the bottom corner gets awfully tight. After that, just fold, glue the flap, and tie the hearts together on top with some ribbon.

Alternatively print it on blank paper and let the kids decorate it themselves!
