"Antiqued" Labels

Well, she got me thinkin'...
Why not try labels?


So, I soaked them in coffee and baked them in the oven just like she described (although, only for 5-10 minutes since they're much smaller).

Then, lightly ironed them.


They sure would be cute Christmas present lables...or maybe even storage container labels...


but, I have something else in mind...

  4. I've done this before, and you just reminded me how much I loved it! I think I may have used tea for my tags though, so I will have to try the coffee! So fun!

  5. Oh my stars!! I just bought a pack of these last weekend to use on Christmas presents, and wanted to stain them but wasn't quite sure how. Your post couldn't have been more timely :) Love your blog!
