I decided to use some of the labels that I found to jazz up some glassware. I started off by gathering up a few glass cups, bottles and vases...
Next I printed the labels on a color laser printer and used Mod Podge to decoupage the glass. This was my first attempt at decoupaging and I have to say that it was a lot easier than I thought it would be. You can find easy how-to directions here.
Here are some lemonade glasses that I embellished with a cool vintage french label...
And here is a vase that was embellished with another vintage french label (appropriately surrounded by roses)...
Finally I used a gorgeous blue vintage label to embellish a jar of strawberry preserves...
I'm thinking about using these items as hostess gifts. There are a ton of other free items available on that blog, so definitely go and get some great stuff.

Good morning! I just had to pop over from Transformation Thursday to see what this was all about. I love the vintage labels and the different ways that you have used them - and including that link to the site with the vintage graphics was so nice of you! Stop by my blog if you ever have a moment. I'm not vintage necessarily but you might see some recipes that you'd like to try!! Ciao, bella!
OH my gosh, these are way too cute! I LOVE those labels! Those are such creative ways to use them. :)
Farm Girl & Amanda - Thanks for the kind words and for stopping by!
I love those! I bought a few jars-with-handles at the thrift store a while back just like yours. And I have some Modge Podge on hand. Guess what awesome craft I'll be making very soon? Thanks so much--they are adorable!
I love this idea so much! Thank you for sharing that link for the free graphics.
oh these are too stinking cute! Great job they look amazing!

These are too cute! I love the lemonade glasses!
I saw your lemonade glasses featured over at the Graphics Fairy and just had to come by! All of your decoupaged glass pieces are beautifully done! I particularly love the strawberry piece!

Hi,
I found you through The Graphics Fairy :) These came out adorable! I was wondering if you can hand wash the glasses or are they mostly decorative? Very cute regardless :)
Have a great day!

These are so cute and I have mugs just like them. Do they hold up to washing OK? The dishwasher??
Wow - Thanks for all of the super sweet comments!
Deanna - I've actually only used the glasses once - I washed them by hand with very little soap and water only touching the insides. I've heard that there is a water-resistant decoupage glue made by Mod Podge, but I haven't tried it.
I hope this helps!
