DIY Vintage Art Supply Ornaments – Art Supplies On a Christmas Tree

I’m still finishing up all the ornament tutorials for this years tree and these are the vintage art supply ornaments:

These were so easy to make in bulk:

It’s as simple as printing off a label, cutting it out and applying it to a small gift box or bottle:

For the rectangular ornaments, I purchased these packs of small mixed gift boxes from Michaels:

I printed the vintage-inspired box labels onto  8.5″x11″ white label paper (which is essentially a huge white sticker you can print onto). My friend, artist Stephanie Corfee, made these cute labels for me!

I cut out the labels and applied them to the boxes. Each box was glued shut and a string attached under the lid with the same glue:

For the vintage-inspired bottles I purchased this bulk pack of small bottles (found in the wedding section of Michaels):

To make them appear filled with old ink or other liquid I just misted some various colors of spray paint into each bottle:

Once the paint was dry I put a little bit of industrial glue onto each cork to keep it in place permanently. Then I added the labels:

My friend Stephanie made these vintage-inspired bottle labels too! Print them in the same way onto  8.5″x11″ white label paper. Click the image to download (or click here) the free PDF: 

Don’t they almost look real?

To attach the string I just inserted a small screw eye, and colored it gold using a gold Sharpie:

I think I could just fill a tree with just these! 

Here’s what the bottles look like on the tree:
