Victorian Newspaper Advertisements

Victorian Newspaper Advertisements Collage Sheet This collage sheet was adapted from vintage newspaper advertisements. The line art of these old ads is simply wonderful, and there are so many ways that you can use these images.

My favorite craft for these is decoupage.

I just print them out onto parchment paper and cover everything from empty coffee cans (to make crafty pen holders) to blank wooden trays.

Whatever you decide to make with them, please feel free to share, I’d love to see what you can come up with.

Victorian Newspaper Ads No. 1 Collage Sheet

Here is the tray that I made. I’ll post the rest of the collage sheets in this series so you can easily recreate this decoupaged tray for yourself.

    Your very welcome…I have two other sheets in this series, I’ll post them this evening.

    I think it’s best to decoupage while the humidity is low, so we all should take advantage of spring weather for crafting when we can :)
