Vintage Images, Easy and Beautiful Crafts and Scrapbook Ideas

Quick and Easy Crafts
with a Time-Honored Look -
Using Vintage Images.

Vintage images are the inspiration behind these crafts and scrapbooking projects. From the romantic to the whimsical, Victorian and turn-of-the-century postcards can give your creativity a distinctive touch. These classic illustrations and photographs are rich in color, artistic technique and symbolism. This bygone art captures the essence of life's highlights - holidays, celebrations and sentiments - vividly.

The projects teach you techniques for decoupage, collage, reverse-glass painting, embossing, antiquing, card-making and paper crafts.

VintageImageCraft is your online resource for ideas, inspiration and the finest-quality images. Here, you'll find:

Free craft ideas and instructions for using art to make art. We went for fun and easy. Inexpensive to make, with materials and tools – and skills – that you probably have. Many are perfect for children or small crafting parties.
