Tag Art and Vintage Items Put in a Old Jar


I love to use the shipping Tags in Artwork. My daughter and
I made these two tags and they turned out so pretty


This is a old jar I fill with old sewing spools
Old lace and ribbons and anything I could find
I do like to fill Vintage Jars up with lots of small
Items I have that need to find a home and I always
call canning with fun things into ART



I did not have the lid to this so I use a tiny plate with flowers
added some vintage lace to make a bow around the top



I use a paper towel roll in the middle to get the Items
to show up on the outside it works for me and it saves
items for another jar! I love to fill jars it's so much fun!



I added one of my Tag Art to give a cute look the
Old tag of Love makes the world go around I have
Had for years it has a cute pin on it too. There is
a Tiny Teddy Bear in the top on the other side
some vintage flowers I have been collecting
and some vintage buttons to add as fillers



This another Tag I made for my daughter to use
She and I love to craft our Art together sometimes

scrapbook flower, pink crepe paper for ruffle, and some
Pink beads....and then add a touch of giltter.....

A little back ground of scrap paper with postcards
Place in a wooden box painted gold....It can stand on it own
or I can hang it on the wall.....




This is a cute picture of cut out Wall paper chickens
I have had this paper for along time...I wish I had gotten
more rolls of it...It is super cute to cut the chickens out
For some cute artwork.....I added all this to a dark frame
that had the black and white checker blocks and the
stripes of red and white....My daughter loves chickens
and she took this home with her.....








This is a vintage sewing basket that I have added some
Vintage sewing treasures to it.....
and a darling little doll and bear
adds to this sweet look....I pin them all
on with pearl pins...so they can be removed
if needed to change the look.....I find these pins works
well in my fun artwork........

and it color is the color it was painted long ago...
I love this old sage green....I have added feedsack quilt
Heart and vintage fabric yo yo's a few cute buttons, old
sewing wood spool and big gold safety pin and
very old photo of a super cute boy and darling
baby of the Late 1800's.....sitting in an old wicker child chair
The word Antiques fits this Collage Assemblage...

Vintage Photo Assemble Art Basket


Posted by Picasa
This is such a sweet vintage photo!
It give me such a feeling of love in his eyes!
I love those long dresses!
Old buttons, vintage sewing items, vintage beads
I do like putting items together for others to see
I do not glue these down I use preal corsage pins
to hold the small vintage items in place
